Very interesting. Yes, I agree with everything he says, but I'm sure many Catholics do. and in Australia, I note that Catholics have been at the forefront of helping refugees, prisoners, AIDs survivors and many marginalised people. It's clear that apart from all the institutional problems, Catholics have a sense of compassion that they are willing to put into action, where many others just spout words.

While I'm not a Christian, I greatly respect the social justice movements (including unions) that have evolved out of groups of people inspired by Christianity.
