Peter Kennedy: The Man Who Threatened Rome
Father Peter Kennedy, of Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in South Brisbane, was sacked by his bishop in February of 2009 – essentially for stretching the bounds and definitions of community to include non-Catholics, gay and divorced souls. Peter, understandably enough after many years of devoting himself to his congregation, refused to be removed, which set off an uproar. But the story is fascinating and revelatory in ways far beyond mere headlines and religiopolitical joust – it cuts to the heart of what being Catholic means, and what congregations and spiritual communities are, and how the genius of Christ’s message is both elevated and muddled by organizational structure and seeming authority.
