Australia â much like the rest of the world â is experiencing a critical shortage of priests. Churches of various faiths are struggling to fill vacancies. So why arenât more people answering the call? Join James Carleton and the God Forbid panel this week as they consider the growing problem of a shrinking clergy.Â
This week is 130 years to the day since Pope Leo XIII published Rerum Novarum, an encyclical â or open letter â about capital and labour. The Pope endorsed the right to private property but also named trade unions as a moral good. Today, James Carleton and the God Forbid panel discuss the Christians who contributed to socialist thought in Europe.
For all of human history we've had religion and we've had art â and the two have remained inextricably linked.
We're not just talking about Da Vinci's Last Supper, or Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, but the creation of art itself as a practise with the power to transcend.
John Cleary reviews the year in religion and ethics in conversation with Samina Yasmeen, Bill Leadbetter, Frank Sheehan, Angela McCarthy and Chris Bedding
