Louise Milligan’s Latest Anti-Catholic Frolic

The fembots rise again. There is no such a phenomenon quite like the ex-Catholic feminist scorned.  If you ever meet one, you will instantly know what I mean.  I have never known such anger.  And the never-quite-sated lust for revenge is palpable.

Not content with having attempted to destroy the life of a white martyr Cardinal and the career of a Liberal leadership contender (Christian Porter), the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s hit-girl has struck again.  This time, she has set her sights on Catholic schools.  In particular, the Pared schools Redfield College. Wollemi College, Tangara School and Montgrove College.  All of these schools are in western and north western Sydney.

Louise Milligan sniffs a story that might destroy the political career of the NSW Premier, Dominic Perrottet, ludicrously portrayed as a far-right politician.  Hence a favourite target of a certain kind of ABC feminazi.  (As if the NSW Liberal Party itself isn’t already doing a sterling job of guaranteeing it loses the upcoming March election; it doesn’t need any help from the ABC).

The leftist Sydney Morning Herald has been well-briefed, of course:

NSW’s powerful education authority is investigating Sydney schools linked to Opus Dei amid a war of words between the ultra-conservative Catholic group and the public broadcaster.

The ABC’s Four Corners is planning to air a program on Monday night titled Purity: An Education in Opus Dei, alleging “disturbing practices” by the controversial organisation in several schools and exploring its influence in the NSW Liberal Party.

Disturbing practices?  Gosh.  They might even be … Catholic!  A natural target for Four Corners and  Milligan, for both of whom “Opus Dei” is clearly a trigger phrase.

Controversial?  They forgot to include “divisive”.  Ultra-conservative?  This is where the bungling incompetence of the Left press gets comical.  If decades of close exposure to Opus Dei members have taught me anything, it is that they are not ultra-conservative.  Though on the continuum occupied at the centre (they believe fervently) by the likes of SMH and ABC journalists, anyone to their right can automatically be labelled “ultra-conservative”.  If Dominic Perrottet is to be touted as an example of someone ultra-conservative, we are in Blind Freddie territory.

Opus Dei has three core principles – Catholic orthodoxy; outsized support for the Pope (including the current one, who no one on God’s Earth thinks is ultra-conservative), and the importance of living the faith through everyday work.  This is about it.

Influence in the NSW Liberal Party?  If only it did.  We might then get some decent conservative policies.  If you want to know about shadowy, behind-the-scenes influences in the NSW Liberal Party, you need look no further than the leftist lobbyists of Premier State Consulting.  Investigate that!  They pull the strings and get the personnel and the policies they want.  Perrottet’s Opus Dei string-pulling, such that it can be said to exist, is singularly hopeless.

What is Pared?  It is an organisation of Catholic parents that sets out to provide an orthodox Catholic education to young people of faith.  Self-described as follows:

Pared Schools offer a personalised system of education, seeking to integrate the pursuit of academic excellence with an education in human virtues. Offering a solid and deep foundation in the Catholic faith, Pared schools develop leaders of integrity who will contribute to family and society (emphasis in original).

Quite correctly, these parents have little faith in either the State system or the excessively woke and supine Catholic schools.  The Pared website states:

A small group of parents came together in 1982, hoping to establish a school in Sydney’s north that focused on education of the whole person; where parents are encouraged to worked closely with teachers to bring out the best in their students.

Built on the belief that both home and school are the key learning environments of every child, a united purpose between parents and teachers would be the basis for the schools, and exactly what set them apart.

Today, Pared Foundation is still made up of parents who are dedicated to offering students an education that fosters outstanding academic results, an enduring work ethic, and the practice of human virtues which develop character.

Scary stuff!  As state schools teach small children about transgenderism and homosexuality (and clearly not much else) and Catholic systemic schools progressively discard the Faith of our Fathers as they educate mostly non-Catholic students and provide “pastoral care”, is it any surprise that some Catholic parents might have chosen another path?

But wait a minute.  The current NSW Premier is a graduate of the Pared system, (though he also attended a non-Pared school for a time).  The plot suddenly thickens. The SMH reports:

In a letter sent to parents this week co-signed by the principals of the four schools, the Pared Foundation claimed Monday’s episode “seems to be an attack on the Catholic faith” and an “attempt at damaging the political career” of Perrottet ahead of the March 25 state election.

I have seen the letter.  It actually focuses on the attack by the ABC on Catholic teachings on homosexuality.  Now we are getting warm.  The ABC is one of the prime agitators for the replacement of the traditional family with the rainbow version.  Pared is seen as a foe of the homosexualist agenda, therefore it must be crushed.  The ABC sees Catholic teachings on sex as the way to take on and defeat Louise Milligan’s biggest enemy.  Remember that it was George Pell’s refusal to serve Holy Communion to rainbow-sashers in 1996 that started the whole WoP (War on Pell).  Homosexual activists are like elephants.  They never forget.  They are also the elephants in this Four Corners room.

The ABC naturally demurs:

That claim has been rejected by the ABC, which said the episode by reporter Louise Milligan “investigates serious allegations that are clearly in the public’s interest to be informed about, including opposing consent education, encouraging students to make decisions contrary to medical advice, harm to students as a result of their education, homophobia and recruitment of students under the guise of pastoral care”.

“There is nothing in the program that is an attack on the Catholic faith,” a spokesperson said.

How stupid do they think we are?  To ask the question is to answer it.

What is this “consent education, by the way”?  And why would Pared oppose it?

Mark Latham, one of the few NSW politicians earning his salary, has been a vigorous opponent of so-called “consent education”, which is creeping further and further down the age scale in State schools.  He has been a warrior.  His Facebook Outsiders page spells out One Nation’s priorities:

We will declare under the NSW Education Act that parents are the primary educators of their children. Not teachers, not bureaucrats, and not politicians.

It’s part of our 10-point plan to end the nonsense in our classrooms and lift the standards on education.

A Democratic Labor Party commenter suggests:

Parents should have the first and last say on raising their kids and the education they receive. It’s time for the Government bureaucrats to back out and let the adults handle this.

Amen to that.  This is the long and the short of what Pared schools are seeking to do.  Allowing parents a say in their children’s education is anathema to the ABC’s deep antipathy towards traditional families.  You know — mum, dad and the kids.  They prefer dad, dad and the kids.

The NSW Government, for the moment being run by Perrottet, refused to support Latham’s private member’s bill on these matters and, in particular, on parental rights.  He might well have taken Pared schools as his model here.  Let me repeat: the NSW Liberal Government refused to support Mark Latham.  Instead, they would rather be seen as tacitly supporting the creepy consent education agenda that is sexualising children as we speak.

Mark Latham also notes:

NSW Children’s Advocate wants teachers to ‘keep secrets’ about students’ gender talk.

The Office of the Children’s Advocate in NSW should be abolished.

In a disgusting slur against parents, she has said “it may not be safe” for school teachers to tell parents information about their child’s gender and sexuality.

This would be on Perrottet’s watch, from the NSW Liberal Government’s bureaucrats.  Not much Pared-style governing going on here.

The ABC reports:

An ABC Four Corners program to be broadcast on Monday will investigate instances of students at Pared schools in the Sydney’s Hills district being taught misinformation about sexual health, including that pornography causes holes in the brain, that girls were being discouraged from getting the HPV cervical cancer vaccine, and that students are subjected to persistent attempts to recruit them to Opus Dei, a small-but-powerful Catholic organisation.

Powerful?  Err, no.  See above. 

This is a classic ABC play.  Cross-promote your own hit job.  Conflate arcane charges concerning trumped-up accusations about subjects that no one has ever heard of with utterly spurious Opus Dei recruitment claims and just put it out there.  Some of the mud will surely stick.  Throw in a little anti-vaxxer auto-suggestion.  And definitely use the word “misinformation”.  Bingo!  Any suggestion of links to anti-vaccine ideas is a sure winner for the ABC.  Create the murky.  Rinse.  Repeat.

Then we throw in the connection between the Catholic Education Office and the NSW election.  The agenda is exposed.

NESA [NSW Education Standards Authority] board member Dallas McInerney — who is also a member of the New South Wales Liberal Party — was quoted in the SMH about the forthcoming story, saying that the ABC has a “wider agenda”.

Shocking!  A member of the Liberal Party!  A conspiracy!  And better still, is there a smoking gun?

ABC’s Four Corners has interviewed a former student of a Pared school, who contacted NESA with a complaint, and was told she needed to first contact the schools, which she felt was futile. She says she and her mother contacted the authority on several occasions between 2018 and 2022.

Gosh, a student complained.  Hold the presses!  Are these people serious?

Louise Milligan is an anti-Catholic dog whistler.  Nothing more, nothing less.  How else could she believe the absurd stories of The Kid, aka Witness J, for example. Quod erat demonstrandum.  And we pay her salary.  And her legal fees.

Once upon a time, Four Corners was a serious program. It was compered by Robert Moore, a serious journalist and outstanding presenter.  Those were the days.  They explored real issues, not the fantasies of disturbed activists.  Louise Milligan’s persistence as an employee of the ABC demonstrates like nothing else the massive decline of the public broadcaster.
