Sermons and Confessions

I have remained silent until now on the issue of Father Peter Kennedy and the administration of St Mary’s Parish South Brisbane.  Father Kennedy has been removed as the administrator because the Archbishop of Brisbane has declared him to no longer be in communion with the Catholic Church.

 I’ve never been to St Mary’s and never met Peter Kennedy, but my gut feeling is to agree with the Archbishop.  I respect Kennedy for disagreeing with the Catholic Church, but there is a point where if you disagree with an organisation you have to leave it.  You can’t cheer for StGeorge if you call yourself a Bronco.  You can’t work for shop A and sell the products of Shop B. 

Kennedy should have the courage of his convictions and say yes I am out of communion with the catholic church because they are wrong and then leave.  The longer he stays the more he seems like a spoiled school boy sitting defiantly on the floor and saying “Make Me!”
