Anti-Christ Pell on Crusade to Control
Out of Touch with the real world and ready to control your thoughts.
He's Cardinal George Pell, and he wants 167 school principals, its deputy principals and religious education co-ordinators to publicly commit to a "vow of fidelity" by adhering to church teaching on homosexuality, birth control and women's ordination.
This would extend the oath of fidelity and profession of faith, a requirement of church law for bishops, priests and heads of seminaries, to all senior educational leaders.
The oath demands "religious submission of intellect and will" on questions of faith and morals - even if these are inferred but not defined by the pope and his bishops.
It suggests they would be bound not only to IMPART these teachings but to live by them.
Other new measures include:
- Marriage preparation classes for senior secondary school students
- Twice-yearly reviews of its educational bodies
- Forums so Catholic politicians can be updated on church teachings
- Renewed efforts to teach youth about "sexuality and life issues" through formal courses and seminars
- Measures to bring in to the fold young people inspired by next year's World Youth Day.
A recent Vatican push to institute an oath for theologians in the US was greeted as an attack on academic independence, and one critic of the archdiocese's plan says it contains "shades of the Opus Dei".
The Sydney Auxiliary Bishop Julian Porteous said "It's not about control."

Most of the wording above comes from a June 4 report by Linda Morris, which has appeared in a number of newspapers. I have condensed her words without changing the essence of her story. The first line "Out of touch..." was not written by Ms Morris.
