The church was packed today for the 10am mass. Had all these people come to express solidarity with the St Vincent’s Community?
Well, not quite. Social Justice Sunday was totally ignored by our parish priests. Instead, scores of Neocats were bussed in from near and far for a "Parish Feast". There were even mini-buses from the ACT and Victoria. Last Sunday, in an underwhelming gesture of inclusivity, Gerry issued a vague Clayton’s invitation to the Community to attend a picnic after mass to celebrate the feast of St Vincent de Paul, at the same time declining to provide any information regarding time, location or catering.
It would seem that Gerry’s Neocat rent-a-crowd had access to the details well in advance.
