Archdiocese of Sidney Bans US "Theologian"

A "goddess spirituality theologian", that is...And professed "Catholics" are decrying that this is "Censorship"!

The banning of feminist theologian Dr Carol Christ from speaking in the Archdiocese of Sydney is just censorship, Sydney academic Dr Kathleen McPhillips said yesterday. Dr McPhillips is a member of the Australian Feminist Theology Foundation, the group sponsoring the visit.

"This kind of censorship indicates just how repressive life is for Catholics in Sydney," said Dr McPhillips. "Feminism continues to be a dangerous discourse."

US theologian Dr Carol Christ has been banned from speaking on Church land in the Archdiocese of Sydney. Dr Christ, who was to speak at Santa Sabina College in Strathfield on Saturday, is to lecture in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Canberra. Santa Sabina was the venue for another famous feminist theologian, Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza, who in 1995 spoke there without comment.

Speaking with Online Catholics from Brisbane, Dr Christ said that "perhaps some in the Church are afraid that if people hear what I have to say, they will be attracted to it," she said.

Of course, there will always be some who are attracted to the darkness, away from our Lord.

Asked what she would say to those who would stop her speaking, Dr Christ said yesterday, " The essence of religion is the quest for truth. Each of us may have some truth, but not all. If truth can be spoken about, it should be heard; from different positions then, we may all learn.

"Some religious leaders do not want to accept that their truth is necessarily partial. Heartfelt, undoubtedly, but incomplete. "There should be no fear of another's truth," Dr Christ said.

As Pontius Pilate asked our Lord, "Truth? What is Truth?"
These people have no truth within them. They have rejected the One Who is Truth, for an idol of their own making.
