In the early 1970s I knew a splendid priest whose authority to say Mass
and operate within the Archdiocese of Sydney was terminated by the then
prelate, Cardinal James Freeman. The priest's name was Father Pat Connor
and he was a dear friend. As a young missionary in India, he was
influenced by Gandhi, and I never knew a person who practised
non-violent dissent with less pathology and more dignity and human love
than Pat. As a peaceable man, he was involved in anti-Vietnam and
anti-apartheid protest, including the famous and unwise Springbok tour
of 1971.
