about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

Advice from Down Under
Geraldine Doogue at Australia’s Eureka Street offers up some advice for Pope Francis.
I think Pope Francis has the credibility to do this. And despite my own preference for subsidiarity, I doubt any country has escaped the fallout from sins of power, secrecy, abuse, and corruption. I would add to this a study of recent bishops. I don’t have much hope this will happen, but you never know.
Ms Doogue quotes a former priest and judge Chris Geraghty
I think this is right. We need to expand a bit beyond the Blessed Mother, the (male) apostles, the (male) national patron saints, and such. We need to tell a lot of stories, including some of our own contemporary ones. (like, for example, why this guy isn’t fast-tracked to sainthood, ahead of another round of religious founders, if need be).
