There are limits to what one is allowed to say; there is no implicit right that we can say what ever we like.
I was brought up as Catholic and never heard mass in any other language other than english, I don't really know what your point is.
If you like I can provide links to masses within the Perth Archdiocese that are celebrated in several languages. E.g. Polish, Italian, Latin to name just three languages. My point is pretty simple. If we are all required to assimilate how is that acceptable?
You can show me what you like last time I checked the Catholic Church isn't committing terrorist acts, When they start doing it people can speak out about it.
Peter you say the catholic church isn't or hasn't committed terrorist acts? We, and when I say we I include myself, condemn those who say they perpetrate heinous acts in the name of Islam, we should not forget those of the catholic faith and not forgetting the proddies who, in the name of their beliefs committed horrendous terrorist acts in Northern Ireland and England and vast numbers of catholic clergy who have committed sexual atrocities against innocent children for decades only to have the Catholic church protect them and knowingly allow them to continue their unspeakable evil. The problem generally is that any organized religion in any form seeks to take away an individuals independent thoughts and acts so that they can be controlled and used to whatever ends that religion preaches as the word of God, whatever form that God takes.
Sonia Krugers statements were by any measure quite mild and said because, in her words, she has been made to feel unsafe in her own country and fears for herself and her family that the things that have happened in Europe and the middle east, mostly in the name of Islam and mostly since the tragic mass exodus of Moslems from their homelands into Europe may happen here, as amongst the mostly simple and peaceful refugees that have been scattered all over Europe there are a core of hateful dangerous radical terrorists that are and will continue to perpetrate these so called lone wolf acts killing hundreds of innocents each time. These lone wolf attacks create far more terror & fear than a 9/11 as they are so close to home in every day places like the Lindt café in Sydney.
Organised religions preach respect and tolerance but then condemn any other form of faith, Islam does that and the catholic church does that. There is no moral high ground when organized religion is involved. True peace will not happen until individuals choose to respect and tolerate other individuals and in return receive the same respect and tolerance.
Let me start by saying I'm not a practising Catholic havnt been for thirty odd years, but I know if I accuse that church of anything I won't have to worry about a Fatwa being put on my head.
I don't see the Catholic Church denouncing gays and that's they should be stoned to death or do I see the church treating women like second hand citizens , or wanting sharia law in our society.
You're right all religions are for people that believe in fairies, but as it stands Islam is the problem and I don't get that most Moslems are peaceful if push comes to shove in this country they will choose their religion over our way of life ffs I havnt seen one imam come out and condemn any terrorist act, lets not shy away from the real problem which is Islam.
