“John Honner, who has worked for Catholic charitable organisations for many years, brings out clearly the relevance of Ozanam to contemporary Australia. He sees especially the contrast between the communal vision of Ozanam and the individualism of Australian society. The emphasis on the individual to the neglect of community has shaped laws on industrial relations and attitudes to welfare. It erodes respect for human dignity.”
