My guest to today is Dr Philippa Martyr who is an academic at the university of Western Australia, an author, a regular columnist of the Catholic Weekly, and one of the more knowledgeable people about the state of the Catholic Church in Australia today.
She has just released a new book “Witness: The Future Catholic Church in Australia” which contains probably the most comprehensive and UpToDate data about the true state of the Church and Catholic-branded organizations in Australia. It does not paint a pretty picture. However, she is a friend of the Church and the book also contains some thoughtful analysis about what should its future should look like.
In our chat we discuss
1. Why non-Catholics should care about the state of the Catholic Church in Australia today
2. How dire things really are
3. What the cause of this situation?
4. Whether we need a Catholic DOGE to get Catholic organizations focused on their true mission.
And much more.
