Great to hear that now if one was to give credit to man for the works of the Holy Ghost one may run into a problem. Mark 3:29
You may be interested in this fact. I strongly believe that the United States of America has far more practicing Christians and Catholics than Australia and New Zealand put together.
I know this to be true because I have friends living in those countries as well as relatives.
It seems that Godlessness and Pagan Views and Values are very widespread in Australia and New Zealand.
That is why I strongly believe that Cardinal Pell and Archbishop Denis Hart of Melbourne are doing a fantastic and excellent job given these circumstances.
For eg. Only 7-10% of all Australian Catholics attend Mass on Sunday. This information is available on a number of Orthodox and other Catholic Web Sites.
Both Australia and New Zealand in my opinion are in urgent need of evangelization just as Europe is.
Amen to what you have said.
