This site asks the Question, 'Who Is Worthy"? using the title of the late Ted Kennedy's book
An insightful and provocative book that challenges the new conservatism in the Australian Catholic Church epitomised by Cardinal George Pell was released in April 2000
Father Kennedy speaks as a pastor of 40 years experience including 30 years as the parish priest of Redfern. He is angry about what he sees as a dangerous return to the closed mentality which he experienced in his youth.
Father Kennedy examines how the Church in Australia has corrupted the basic teachings of Christ and has become a church of exclusion rather than inclusion. He is concerned about two groups - each marginalised, each oppressed by the church - gay people and Indigenous Australians.
Father Kennedy’s plea is for a radical reformation which would return the Church to the original message of the gospels.
