Thought for the day

Just got back from Vigil Mass (at St. Margaret-Mary's Randwick North). There was a guest priest (Fr Tony Bolt MSC) who is currently based in Karnataka, India at a place called Bangalore. Anyway, Fr. Tony had an interesting comment how how if the world was a democracy, 1/3 of the votes would be from India, 1/3 from China, none from Australia. We tend to think ourselves as being "the norm" but in fact all of Europe and the US together still forms a minority of people in the world. He also pointed out that the number of Catholics in the state of Karnataka was greater than the population of Australia!

Anyway, something to think about in all these debates about the US vs Europe.
