Following Jesus' command to be witnesses \"to the ends of the earth\", Australian Catholics have worked hard to reform their own souls and Australian society. In this wide-ranging volume, James Franklin shows how core Catholic ideas have played out and motivated action across many fields of endeavour - remote area missions, virtuous rural communities, religious life, multicultural refugee programs, Labor politics, Magdalen laundries, Catholic philosophy. He brings to life the colourful characters behind the action, like F.X. Gsell, the \"Bishop with 150 wives\", pugnacious immigration minister Arthur Calwell, fiery anti-Communist speaker Dr P.J. Ryan and ex-nun memoirist Cecilia Inglis. Saints and sinners, they transformed Australian society in directions it would not otherwise have moved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Franklin is the editor of the\u003cem\u003e Journal of the Australian Catholic Historical Society\u003c\/em\u003e and an honorary professor at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
