The Catholic bishops have used their annual Social Justice Statement to warn against "us and them" politics — worth reading alongside the same week's evidence of a Catholic schools body inside a corruption inquiry, and a religious coalition lobbying to keep its tax breaks!

"When I tell people I’m a nonobservant #Orthodox #Jew, there is usually a small pause, followed by a look that says: Pick one. I understand it. The phrase sounds like a hedge, or like someone claiming a title he hasn’t earned. But I don’t think it’s a contradiction.

It helps to start with where this came from, because it didn’t come from childhood. Until a few years ago, I wasn’t curious about any of it. I was #secular and, on some subjects, actively hostile to religion. What changed was #Oct7, 2023, and then a semester when I was honored to be associated with #Yeshiva University. I came away wanting to know more than I did, and I’ve been picking at that ever since.

I should be clear about the scale of it: I am not a learned man in the #Jewish sense of that word. If you quoted a passage at me, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t recognize it. What I do is modest and improvised."

ICAC's Operation Rosny opened on Monday, and by Friday it had done something the sector rarely manages on its own: put the money of a publicly funded Catholic schools body on the public record. The commission is examining undeclared donations it alleges were arranged and approved by the chief executive of Catholic Schools NSW, inside a Liberal branch-stacking operation whose organisers, on the evidence of two mastheads, knew each other through Opus Dei. It's a clean illustration of religion operating through party machinery and taxpayer money, not from the pulpit.

#MissKitty attempts to take #religion out of #politics cuz politics is supposed to be #secular. Don't care about people's theocratic desires. #Guru has said, and there is no higher authority on Earth, that not everybody can follow one particular #Deity. It just doesn't happen in this world.
