Bless me fellow bloggers for I have sinned.

I watched the movie Avatar.

Twice!

And I loved it!

According to a growing number of bloggers, this movie is anti-capitalism, anti-human, anti-white, pro-ecological movement and pro-pagan religion.

Even my own Cardinal Pell, in his regular newspaper column, derided it as

A considerable anti-climax ... It wasn't terrible, but it was boring; preachy but probably harmless. Even the Vatican seems to have jumped on the bandwagon.

The Church takes the movie to task for flirting with what it says is the worship of nature as a substitute for religion.

Someone finally managed to bypass the censors and get one of the studies implying problems with IVF published.

Studies have discovered that the DNA of babies conceived through IVF differs from that of other children, putting them at greater risk of diseases such as diabetes and obesity later in life.

Paul McCain provides this rather cheeky reflection on the use of modern scholarship in contemporary synodical debates. He is coming from a Lutheran context but we have seen this hermeneutic used across the board in Protestant gatherings to promote and support various innovations in moral doctrine.

It would be an amusing piece of satire if it were actually complete satire.

I can't comment at length on the recent withdrawal of a certain KFC advertisement from the Cricket time slot due to perceived 'racism' because it makes me too angry.

The problem in short: That the following advertisement portrays an Australian cricket supporter surrounded by West Indian supporters cheering for their team. He calms an 'awkward' situation by offering to share a KFC dinner deal.

The Vatican appointment of Bishop Anthony Fisher to the Diocese of Paramatta was announced yesterday via fax to priests and via pulpit to laity today.

Most people outside of Sydney and Melbourne will know Bishop Anthony Fisher as the coordinator of World Youth Day Sydney '08, but he is far more impressive in his quieter accomplishments.

Born and raised in Sydney, young Anthony Fisher spent around 20 years in a Dominican house in Melbourne as a friar and priest.

Married with eight children, I read for work and recreation which results in the current combination of G.K. Chesterton, Orson Scott Card and Terry Pratchet in my backpack. I'm not always certain which is work and which is recreation!
