Ask He who knows
As a resident who will be affected by the papal visit, I sought some information regarding parking and road closures. Randwick City Council advised me it had nothing to do with it and suggested I call the Roads and Traffic Authority, as well as giving me a 1300 number that it assured me was only a recording.
The RTA immediately disavowed any knowledge of the details and palmed me off to another 1300 number. After a 15-minute wait, I was told by a young man that he could not help me and he began patching me through to the original 1300 number.
After some gentle coaching, the young man agreed to put me through to someone in charge and, with a "God bless you" from him, I arrived at an archdiocesan committee member's voicemail box, from which I am still awaiting a response.
I can't help thinking it would have been speedier to simply go to a church and ask the Big Guy himself.

The sniping between the Anglican and Catholic churches about World Youth Day has ignored one important fact (Letters, May 28). Christ was not a Christian; he was a Jew, one seemingly uninterested in golden chalices or great cathedrals. Indeed, given what we have of his sermons and actions, it seems most unlikely that he would have joined either the Anglican or the Catholic churches.

Of course he wouldnt have joined the Catholics or Church of England he would have been to busy in all those United States Ultra Right Tele-evangelical Churches.
But I believe he would have been real busy throwing big TV cameras and sets around the studios.
