better target those Commie Christians as well
Daniel — (archived)

Australia's two most influential religious conservatives, Cardinal George Pell and Dr Peter Jensen, are worried the Federal Government's industrial relations changes may hurt family life and the working poor. Joining a growing chorus of concern from church leaders, the Catholic Archbishop of Sydney and the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney said they wanted to guard against the erosion of minimum wages, restrictions to collective bargaining and incursions into weekend family time. Their comments suggest an emerging accord between conservative and progressive church leaders on workplace changes, which will worry the Government at a time when it already faces problems selling its legislation. They are also likely to hearten the unions, which are furiously lobbying the churches, seeking briefings with the mainstream denominations as well as Baptists, the Greek Orthodox Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

and please note:

Both Cardinal Pell and Dr Jensen have been closely aligned with the Prime Minister, John Howard, on other policy issues

Well I guess I am too, on education issues anyway.

I keep well away from abortion and gay issues so personally have no problem with these 2 guys' conservative stands there.

Looks like those Commie Christians are among the few old-style leftists we have around these days .. ah, the phrase Conservative Leftist DOES resonate so well in the chambers of the heart ... read it and weep, Techie ...
