All welcome to the launch of Catholic Thoughts and Catholic Action: Scenes from Australian Catholic Life
Guest speaker: Senator Jacinta Price, Senator for the Northern Territory
The Catholic quarter of the Australian population have been driven by a unique vision of how humans fit in God’s universe and of how objective ethics should inform individual and collective action. Saints and sinners, they transformed Australian society in directions it would not otherwise have moved.
James Franklin is the editor of the Journal of the Australian Catholic Historical Society and author of Catholic Values and Australian Values; The Real Archbishop Mannix, and books on Australian philosophy and the foundations of ethics.
"an important development and contribution to understanding the comparatively little known influences in how Catholics have thought and acted with regard to our politics and our culture.” - Peter Rosengren, editor, Catholic Weekly
