Many Australians appealed for clemency before the execution of an Australian in Singapore last Friday. May he rest in peace. The strong feeling against the death penalty is a good sign because it says that human life is sacred, no matter what the person has done. But we must be consistent. The sacredness of human life must be affirmed in debates about terrorism, euthanasia, embryo destruction, and the RU486 pill. I'm appalled that we are discussing the legislation of a pill which makes abortion easier and quicker. Surely the sacredness of human life applies equally to babies in the womb. Remember all life comes from God. I'm Barry Hickey, Catholic Archbishop of Perth.

I
believe that God’s love burns deep inside all of us. For
those who choose not to invite God into their lives, the flames
may flicker – but they still exist. These messages may be
just “the spark that ignites the flames of faith
for someone”...
