The draft programme is endorsed by Bishop Vincent Long and was released in a limited fashion in February of this year. Bishop Long gained notoriety during Australia’s 2017 referendum on marriage equality when he voiced his support for same-sex ‘marriage.’ In 2019, Bishop Long’s teachers were given a document on LGBTI resources which lists books by the dissident Fr James Martin and websites such as the Global Network of Rainbow Catholics. As if to confirm the heterodox agenda, the Diocesan Facebook page is littered with posts from Cardinal Tagle, Archbishop Gregory Wilton, calls for ‘integral ecology’ and posts about a recent workshop on Centering prayer.

NOT SO SUDDEN DEATH

Shakespeare’s Juliet may have believed that a rose by any other name is still a rose, but it was the Romans who trusted “ nomen est omen ” — a name is a destiny because names, do in fact, matter. If BLM had instead labeled themselves “Black Lives Matter, Too”, perhaps they would have had a more benevolent welcoming.

I seek in this manifesto of sorts to articulate particular issues posed by what is popularly called “praise and worship.” Indeed, it is curious that this (large) wing of the CCM (Christian contemporary music) movement, often so visually and conceptually indistinguishable from Christian pop and rock concert culture, seems by its very name to claim a monopoly on the concepts of “praise” and “worship”, the highest forms of which are in actuality the Catholic Mass.
