Why are good Catholics being punished for taking a sincere interest, and making an effort, to renew the church? I am a second year student at Newman College. I do not agree with many of Dr. Topping's opinions. Does this justify his unwarranted dismissal? NO! Since when has the notorious cancel culture of the modern zeitgeist sunk its roots even into the fabric of our Catholic institutions?  One could say many things about Dr. Topping. What I cannot question is his devotion and zeal for the renewal of Catholic culture, and his willingness to contribute to the dialogue for positive change. Our church leaders cannot complain about a lack of involvement from Catholics, and in the same breath fire people who are at least attempting to make a difference. Our saviour himself tells us how to discern the character of our leaders. "you shall know them by their fruits." The good fruits of Dr. Topping's labour are apparent. Please, help stop the knee-jerk reaction of cancellation. If we cannot hold open dialogue, and contribute to the common pool of meaning in our Catholic institutions, they are no different from the chaotic, postmodern soup that secular universities have become.

Do you agree to be kept informed about this campaign?

Yes
