Carol Christ is "delighted" that she was denied venue because it proves the Church is afraid of her?

What do you want to bet that's not her real name?

just lovely how Ms Brennan slanders Catholics as "Mary worshippers" and then denigrates Our Lady by saying she has no relevance to the lives of ordinary Christian women. Both Brennan and Carol Christ sound like big-time flakes.

Those who need to be tarred and feathered for this incident are neither Ms Christ nor the good cardinal of Sydney.

It's the Dominican sisters. Ms. Christ is just another loopy New Ager doing the rounds but the crazy sisters decided to give her a forum at a Catholic institution. This immediately sows the seeds of controversy as now the cardinal must step in and prohibit the planned forum. In turn, this results in the secular media jumping on the issue with all the usual cliches about censorship, "too hot to handle etc, etc".

If the Dominicans simply never invite her to begin with, the issue never arises and she ends up speaking at the local Unitarian Church or women's institute or somewhere.

The abyssmal state of some women's religious orders is beyond belief.

Deuteronomy 4:19..."And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven."

Malachi 1:11...:"For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts."
