Given that personnel is policy— flashing yellow light.

Poor Brisbane copping another Victorian refugee! Here’s hoping Mackinely’s administrative deftness is as good as his reputation would fortell. The ACU fiasco needs it.

But to American readers, your typical shorthand of liberal and conservative don’t quite neatly fit Australian theological or political dynamics. Brisbane was a bit of a hot bed for the Charismatic renewal that has now bifurcated into Tradismatic and ecumenial-woo-woo cultures that both seem to coexist relatively peacefully a long side each other. However, if you ask the traddier parishes in Brisbane if Vatican II is legit, they’d look at you like you had two heads. OF COURSE it’s legit and it’s the whole foundation their charismatic spirituality and their love of liturgy.

That’s my two cents.
