Dear Catholic Bishops   There are many interpretations from Muslims claiming that Islam rejects wife-beating.  But Muslims beat their wives, and are never condemned for doing so.   What is the Catholic position on the rights of husbands to discipline wives?     I wonder what number wife this one is?   Robert Spencer on Islam's Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It   World peace depends on dialogue between Christianity and Islam - The Catholic Leader

Dear Australian Bishops   The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of men who openly dress as women, and who even claim to be women, to the extent of invading spaces we normally reserve for women.  They also seem to gravitate to the spaces around little children.   The Drag Queens Reading To Kids in Libraries | them.   Draq Queen Story Time comes to the Free Library of Philadelphia   NY Library Brings Drag Queens to Kids Story Hour   Drag Queen Story Hou

Dear Australian Bishops   Below is a copy of the pact of Umar, the conditions which apply to Christians once Muslims achieve population sufficient to impose sharia law.  Wherever Islam is dominant, such as places like Egypt, these rules apply.  Breaching this pact can lead to the death of a Christian population.   Yet we seem to have the impression among clergy that Islam is a religion of peace, in spite of the open declarations of Muslim leaders and Islamic scripture.  ...

The Editor The Australian   Dear Sir   I have seen many attacks by Labor on Pauline Hanson.  She went into politics after running a fish and chip business.   One wonders how many Labor politicians have become MPs after going to school and maybe uni.  How many have run a business or had a real job?  Or changed a tyre?   Yet they are trusted to run Australia.  One doubts seriously whether they could run a fish shop.   We can't blame them for this.  They are on their huge salari

Dear Australian Bishops   Below this email please find a list of news events for the last 15 days, followed by a list of terrorist activities in the name of Islam over the past 30 days.   Please tell me if these events are sanctioned by Islam teachings, and if so, does not that make this religion Satanic in nature.   Then, if so, what can be done about it, and who should do it?     PART 1: News of Islamic activity 15 days, from 10 March to 24 March 2026     13-year-old girl w

Dear Australian Bishops   Every Sunday at the time for Holy Communion, a number of 'extraordinary' ministers approaches the altar to help in the distribution of the Blessed Sacrament.  These are overwhelmingly female.  Given the small attendance at Mass these days, one wonders why they are needed.   But the question arises.  How can they be extraordinary?  They seem to have become quite ordinary.  And yet the ordinary minister would surely need to be a priest, who cannot be f

Dear Australian Bishops   When a counterfeiter prints money, his free dollars dilute the dollars of the rest of society.  His addition to the money supply means that more dollars are chasing the same number of goods.  So prices go up, and with them rises inflation.  People on a fixed income find themselves poorer because of this theft.   When caught, counterfeiters are punished for their crime.  Our government provides laws that enforce this punishment.   But criminals are no

Dear Australian Bishops    Many years ago I took up the defence of Vatican 2 and the Novus Ordo Mass.  I corresponded with the SSPX and leaders of the Latin Mass Society.   However, some of their arguments caused me considerable difficulty.   For example, they could argue that Communion in the hand and under both Kinds were introduced via disobedience, that is, via sin.  This did not square with the claim that they were inspired by the Holy Spirit, as if God is capable of ins

The Editor The Australian   Dear Sir   A couple of terrorists shooting Jews, to the cry of 'Allahu Akbar'.  Who could these people be, and what is their motive?  The police, as usual, are totally baffled.  The media also seem unable to identify the culprits.  Who are they protecting?  Are they Baptists?  Quakers?  Buddhists?  Adventists?   Everyone seems to like the emperor's new outfit.   Richard Stokes

Dear Australian Bishops Please see the video below. I have seen enough documentation to know that this is perfectly normal in Islam, following the example of Muhammad and Aisha.

Dear Australian Bishops Please see the links below. Is it possible that a significant organisation of homosexuals in the Vatican is engaged in managing the daily affairs of the Catholic Church? If the information below is false, please tell me. If not, what should be done about it, and who should do it? Is there not an urgent case for the Australian Bishops to issue a social justice document explaining the evils of sodomy? Is 'Tucho' Fernandez a 'gay'? Tucho Fernandez in Pict

The Editor New York Times Dear Sir Daily we see vociferous representatives claiming that people who happen to be of a certain colour should pay reparations for slavery to people of a different colour. That is, there are activists (many of whom are quite well-fed) who want money without working for it.  To be paid by people who offended no one, yet who must work while the products of their labour go to the first group. In the words of Dinesh D'Souza, you work, I eat. It seems
