1. The appointment of John McCarthy QC is an excellent decision.
   The views of opponents to John's appointment, and of their suggestions of appointing alternatives who are hostile to the teachings and/or policies of the Church through the nation state of the Vatican, is disingenous.
   Do nations appoint ambassadors who are openly hostile or have a public record of implacable opposition to universal moral and natural law norms?
   some might but Australia still has enough good sense to appoint constructive and positive diplomats who not only have a good knowledge of the Church and of her nation State but also of the universal common good and the Christian humanism that is promoted.
   Such values have a wider appeal to non-Catholics and even many non-believers who are open to this compassionate and consistently disinterested small nation State.
