Quote of the Week - NSW is the last state domino to fall on abortion and marks the end of a more just and decent era, looking back to the Bourne case in 1938 where Justice Macnaghten declared: ‘The law of the land has always held that human life is sacred and the protection the law gives to human life extends also to the unborn child in the womb. The unborn child in the womb must not be destroyed unless the destruction of the child is for preserving the still more precious life of the mother.’
That ethical seriousness has been trashed. We now live under laws, red in tooth and claw, that give no protection whatsoever to ‘the unborn child in the womb’. We are becoming morally a society of dingoes amongst whom no baby is safe.
How did it come to this, and what is there left to love and fight for in a land that sacrifices its young, formally in law, on the altar of male libido and feminist spite

9) Harari –
No one knows what the future will look like. Humans like to tell themselves stories, be they in the form of religion or political ideologies, such as nationalism, communism and liberalism. But none of these can adequately prepare us for what may happen in the next 50 years. New technology and climate change might make the world more different than we can possibly imagine. So we had better keep an open mind and hope for the best.

Quote of the Week –
https://catholicherald.co.uk/news/2019/07/16/facebook-labels-st-augustine-quote-as-hate-speech/
“Let us never assume that if we live good lives we will be without sin; our lives should be praised only when we continue to beg for pardon. But men are hopeless creatures, and the less they concentrate on their own sins, the more interested they become in the sins of others. They seek to criticize, not to correct. Unable to excuse themselves, they are ready to accuse others.”
