The Christian Meaning of Human Sexuality
An updated and expanded edition of a classic work on the Christian meaning of human sexuality by an acclaimed teacher and priest. The unique gift of human sexuality allows us to choose, or not to choose, to participate in one form of God's creation. This book presents the understanding of human sexuality that divine revelation offers us. It is intended primarily for Christian adults who wish to know what kinds of sexual behavior are right or wrong, and to gain true insight into why such behavior is right or wrong for those who seek to love and live in Christ. For sexual morality is part of the mystery of our life in Christ and makes full sense only when seen as such. Understanding of this Ch...

Father, Deliver Us from Evil
Father, Deliver Us from Evil: A Study of the Priest Sexual Abuse provides an analysis of the existing problem, answers questions, and draws some conclusions that can be used to generate future investigation of the issues. Specifically, this study examines the topic of sexual abuse by Catholic priests. It also looks at the bishops and their responsibility and lack of it.

Minorities and Reconstructive Coalitions
Through comparative and historical analysis, the book shows that reconstructive coalitions, such as labor and pan-Christian moral movements, affect minority incorporation and bring Catholics and Protestants together under new identities and significantly improving Catholic standing. It provides overviews of the history of Catholics in Australia, Canada, and the United States while at the same time advancing unique arguments about the impact of coalitions on minority politics.
Perspectives on Complementary and Alternative Medicines
Would you use complementary and alternative medicines (CAMS)? Well, research has shown that up to three quarters of patients with cancer may at least supplement their treatment with such therapies, spending as much on CAMS as conventional drugs. How do you decide? This book provides a full range of perspectives on CAMS from patients and CAMS practitioners to conventional doctors who oppose the use of these alternative treatments because of the lack of evidence of efficacy and safety. Then there are the CAMS researchers, educators and regulators who view CAMS from different perspectives. The broad array of opinions build a complete picture of the issues for discerning readers to be adequately informed to make up their minds and draw their own conclusions.
Prison Journal
Innocent! That final verdict came after George Cardinal Pell endured a grueling eight years of accusations, investigations, trials, public humiliations, and more than a year of imprisonment after being convicted by an Australian court of a crime he did not commit. Led off to jail in handcuffs, following his sentencing on March 13, 2019, the 78-year-old Australian prelate began what was meant to be six years in jail for "historical sexual assault offenses”. Cardinal Pell endured more than thirteen months in solitary confinement, before the Australian High Court voted 7-0 to overturn his original convictions. His victory over injustice was not just personal, but one for the entire Catholic Church. Bearing no ill will toward his accusers, judges, prison workers, journalists, and those harboring and expressing hatred for him, the cardinal used his time in prison as a kind of "extended retreat". He eloquently filled notebook pages with his spiritual insights, prison experiences, and personal reflections on current events both inside and outside the Church, as well as moving prayers.
Reinterpreting the Eucharist
The Eucharist continues to be central to contemporary Christian religious tradition and to be the focus for a wide range of assumptions and disputes. Chief amongst these disputes is the role of women in the theology and the ritual of the Eucharist.Reinterpreting the Eucharist brings together a diverse range of voices with each using their own marginalized experience to explore other ways – indigenous culture, medieval and contemporary art, social history, and environmental ethics – of engaging with the Eucharist. Presenting new forms of theological and ethical engagement, the book responds to the challenge of reconsidering the meaning of the Eucharist today.

What is the purpose of life, amidst suffering and death? What is the good we should hold onto, and the evil to abstain from? Reaching out to youth, as well as people of all ages, faiths, and experiences, and using an engaging style mixed with a keen 'Aussie' wit--"rooster today, feather duster tomorrow...
