Barry Sinclair A seemingly "ordinary lay Catholic" who found himself quite by chance at the centre of a little-recorded episode in the history of Australian Catholicism where there was a sea-change in attitude to the pastoral plight of Catholics stuck in failed marriages. Barry Sinclair explains what happened and why. It is an interview that might have continuing value into the future for anyone who comes across the fraught territory of having to negotiate their way through a failed marriage. [more]

Dr
Peter Tannock Dr Peter Tannock
is the Vice Chancellor of the University of Notre Dame. He is a former
chairman of the National Catholic Education Commission and earlier than
that could arguably be described as one of the chief architects of the
model of modern Catholic Education that was set up by the Bishops of this
nation beginning in about 1971. In some respects he could also be described
as being influential in framing aspects of national education policy in
this country. Despite the enormous influence he has had in the Church

his own trumpet. Brian Coyne set out to gain some insight into what makes
Peter Tannock "tick" as an educational entrepreneur and as a lay Catholic
facing the struggles we all face. [more]
