Lexi,
What are the things we have moved on from?
What is the logic of the Move?
How is it based in Christ's teachings?

Perhap this might be of interest:

Philo:

Re-read my previous posts. Or better still go to your local library and get hold of the copy of - "Believers: Does Australian Catholicism Have A Future?" by Dr Paul Collins - he's the expert and you'll get a more comprehensive answer to your questions. It's a marvellous book - and keeps hope alive. As Geraldine Doogue writes in the foreword to the book -"Collins invites us to revisit our own tradition; to reassess the prospect of life in Australia without its influence...He begs us for new energy, to believe the Church is worth our best renewed effort..."

I'm going on leave for 2 weeks - and I simply don't have the time to answer your questions in the depth that they deserve. The book will do that for me.
