Endeavour Forum was set up to counter feminism, defend the unborn and the traditional family.  ("A feminist is an evolutionary anachronism, a Darwinian blind alley".)

Our Newsletters
11

The main function of our quarterly newsletters is to provide a critique of feminism.  We are realists not feminists. Our quarterly newsletters deal with current issues concerning feminism,  abortion, child care, equal opportunity, affirmative action, euthanasia, sex differences,  and pro-life and pro-family   topics.

We believe our Newsletter and information  is  a valuable resource. There are other resources and information  that we can provide on request.

The Federal Government and Academic Texts as
Barriers to Informed Consent

Informed patient consent for medical treatment is required by both law and medical ethics. Yet, both federal agencies and academicians are participating in the suppression of information about the heightened risk of breast cancer posed by oral contraceptives and induced abortion. There is historical precedent in the long-delayed acknowledgment of the smoking/lung cancer link.

Human Rights Charter National Consultation Process Distorted

When Fr. Frank Brennan, chairman of the Australian government's National Consultation Committee on a Human Rights Charter opened a consultation meeting in Melbourne, he indicated the Committee welcomed all opinions
and submissions including those opposed to a Human Rights Charter.

The Fatherhood Revolution

Father’s Day is being celebrated in Australia with a renewed sense of vigour and excitement. Fathers and children are appearing in more advertisements. Print media are running father-friendly stories along with both TV and radio. These days restaurants are booked out for Father’s Day as well as Mother’s Day

The marriage advantage

A number of studies show that marriage has advantages for couples and their children, so why do governments pretend cohabitation is as good?

CHARLES FRANCIS,  QUEENS COUNSEL

Bishop Peter J. Elliott

I begin the celebration of this Funeral Mass for Charles Francis, Queens Counsel, by conveying our sincere condolences to the family, first to Charles widow, Babette, and to their children: Catherine, Rowena, Prudence, Nicholas, Michael, Geoffrey, Derek. Lisa, and their families, with condolences to David and Shan, Charles brother and sister.

This morning, I am joined at the altar in Eucharistic concelebration by Father John Martis of the Society of Jesus, Babettes cousin, who will preach, Father Brendan Dillon, the Parish Priest of Glen Waverley,
Fr. Bernard McGrath of Bendigo and Father Maurice Ward, a Redemptorist father.

I convey the condolences of His Grace Archbishop Denis Hart, together with his gratitude for the prudent counsel so readily offered by Charles over the years, and particularly in these times.

The presence of representatives of the Law, the Government and the Opposition, and particularly the local Federal Member, Hon. Peter Costello, is a concrete expression of the deep esteem so many hold for a great and wise man.

Charles Francis epitomised the concurrence of faith and reason that is the ideal of a Catholic gentleman and scholar. He chose the faith of millions. He lived the faith. He loved the faith.

Now, as Charles would wish, let us take up the Christian duty of offering the one eternal Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the repose of his generous soul.
