How is Mary Mackillop a good role model?

Mary is a role model for us because she lived the Gospel message and reached out to those 'battler's struggling in the latter part of 19th century in our young nation. Mary's life is full of many achievements as she tried to remedy the social, religious and economic problems of the day. Catholic education for the bush children was the original focus but soon the needs of destitute women and men, orphans etc. were also addressed. While Mary's achievements are to be admired, we remember her for her goodness and loving example shown n the face of personal difficulties with family, work colleagues, Church authorities and her foundling order of sisters. Mary had a deep awareness of God's presence in her life from an early age and developed a personal relationship with her God. Her trust in Divine Providence was very strong thus enabling her to pursue her goals despite the odds against her e.g. poverty, debt, malice, scandal etc. Throughout her troubled years, Mary experienced much distress and pain but was firm in her conviction that if it was God's work, then it would succeed. She accepted the crosses in her daily life with courage and experienced a peace at the time of her excommunication. She had a great respect for the clergy and would never let the sisters speak ill of those who caused any trouble to the order. Mary's love of God was lived out in responding to a need conscious of the dignity of the human person at stake.


How many half-brothers did Jesus have?

Mark 6:3 identifies Jesus' brothers as James, Joses, Juda and Simon, but there is no suggestion, here or anywhere else in the Bible, that they were only half-brothers. The notion that they were really only half-brothers, or even cousins, arose much later in the Catholic Church, which wished to preserve the virginity of Mary throughout her life.

Was James the brother of Jesus born of another woman before the birth of Jesus?

According to historical and biblical accounts, James the brother of Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph after the birth of Jesus. The belief in the perpetual virginity of Mary within some Christian traditions may lead to confusion on this matter, but the consensus among scholars is that James was indeed the biological brother of Jesus, born to Mary after the birth of Jesus. This understanding is supported by references in the New Testament and early Christian writings.


How old was Joseph when he was sold by his brothers?

good question. I'm sure that he's depicted as older than Mary who was young and a virgin so i'd say that he's around 30-40.

Which bishop excommincated Mary Mackillop?

The Josephite sisters worked in the schools and aided the poor at Adelaide, and the local prelate, Bishop Sheil, disagreed with the way the Sisters went about their lives. He excommunicated their leader, Mary MacKillop, in September of 1871, for "inciting disobedience". Sheil lifted the censure in February, 1872, shortly before his death. The church had conflicts not only with MacKillop, but also with Father Julian Woods, who came to the area in 1866 to establish church schools.AnswerRecent research has shown that Mary MacKillop was excommunicated because one of the Josephite sisters, for whom she was responsible, reported a priest, Father Keating, for paedophilia, molesting children at the local church school in Kapunda. Before his death, Bishop Shiel said that MacKillop had "done no wrong" wand revoked the excommunication. AnswerLocal bishops had conflicts with Mary MacKillop. It is not fair to say "the Church" had conflicts, for two reasons: firstly, the Church denotes the sum of the People of God, and Mary was never that isolated; secondly Mary always had the confidence of the Holy See. The conflict stemmed from political power plays. Mary wanted an order centrally governed - much like Canberra would one day govern all Australia. Many local bishops wanted to be unchallenged rulers in their dioceses, and were unwilling to have sisters who were subject to a central Mother House rather than themselves. Right, however, was on Mary's side as Rome granted her Institute central government. A great many local bishops were either ignorant of Church law, or knowingly acted against it in their dealings with Mary. Her illicit excommunication is the most notorious example. We know that a contributing factor to Shiel's quite illegal and invalid excommunication of Mary was indeed the animus between the Sisters and the Bishop's Vicar General over the reporting and subsequent exiling of an abusive priest. The nature of the abuse is unknown. It may have been paedophilia, it may have adultery, it may have been alcoholism. It is a peculiarly modern bias to immediately assume the Sisters had detected and reported child abuse.
