"Some time ago, I sent out a link to Anthony Padavano's talks at a recent Congress. Some replied with interest. So I am attaching another link for your reading.

There is another link which I read recently. it gives a historical perspective of the Vatican 2 Council. I found it to be fascinating in the light of some opinions and movements in the Church today.

Recently the Social Justice Committee of CLRI(NSW) met with the leaders who are the Executive Committee of CLRI(NSW).
In conversation, SJC members asked what we could do to help our congregational members be more mindful of our impact on the earth. One suggestions was to do as some congregations have done and produce a small booklet that can act as a checklist for members. So we offer the following suggestions and ask you let us know if you have other bright ideas that we have not mentioned.

Spirituality is not just a thing for Religious nor is it restricted to Christians. The ITube presentation by Aung San Suu Kyi was submitted by Pat White as something that inspired him.

"Good Religion" versus "Bad Religion"
I came across a short video by a theologian called Peter Vardy, who recently, was engaged in public discussion of "good religion" versus "bad religion". Vardy has some things to say about religious education in Australia, and poses some strong challenges to us as educators. Now, we have been engaged in Catholic Education all our working lives. Vardy wonders how many committed Catholic intellectuals did we form and produce. As a former Headmaster, I often wonder the same.
