Frank Brennan has been a long time advocate for human rights and
social justice in Australia. This collection of essays brings
together some of his major addresses and writings on justice in the
Catholic Church and in Australian society. Placing the individual's
formed and informed conscience as the centre piece in any work for
justice, he surveys recent developments in the Catholic Church
including the handling of child sexual abuse claims and the
uplifting effect of the papacy of Francis, the first Jesuit pope.
He then applies Catholic social teaching and the jurisprudence of
human rights to contested issues like the separation of powers and
the right of religious freedom, and to the claims of diverse groups
including Aborigines, asylum seekers, the dying, and same sex
couples. At every step, he is there in the public square amplifying
that still, small voice of conscience, especially the voice of
those who are marginalised.
