I've found the following website [it's a Catholic website, so hopefully you will accept its accuracy]:
http://www.cathnews.com/news/308/9.php
It's a little out-of-date, so some of the Catholic politicians mentioned may no longer be in parliament [Federal or NSW], but it appears likely that I would be prepared to trust the following to try to represent Australians in general, rather than obediently push the Pope's line:
Laurie Brereton---Labor.
Christopher Pyne---Liberal.
Barry O'Farrell---Liberal.
Charlie Lynn---Liberal.
Peter Wong---Uniting Party.
Clover Moore---Independant.
Peter Breen---Legal System Party.
[Politically, a nice mixed bag!]
By their refusal to express an opinion, I would not be prepared to trust Richard Alston, Kevin Andrews or Tony Abbott.
As you have pointed out, Catholics have regrettably suffered political oppression at various times and in various places. Surely this can give you an insight into why many [perhaps all] non-Catholics bitterly resent attempts to have the Pope's opinions forced onto them against their will.
