I write to you again about the protection of our young people from internet porn intruding into their homes against their parents’ wishes.  Currently, there is a battle between the Commonwealth Government and most pornographic Internet Services Providers (ISPs) over this matter.

Let Us Protect Parents’ Rights

REVISIONING CATHOLIC SCHOOLS IN AN EDUCATION REVOLUTION
- Directors of Catholic Education Conference -
Bishop Gerard Holohan
(Sydney, 23 April 2009)

I begin my comments by expressing thanks to you, the leaders of our Australian Catholic school system, for all that you are doing for our young people in Catholic schools.  We live in challenging times, given the curriculum, funding and other challenges being faced at present – times that are particularly difficult for you.  Thank you for your efforts to guide the schools in your dioceses, always having in view their distinctive mission in the Australian community.
