So I was very close to ordination. I was delighted to be ordained a deacon, which is the last step between, before becoming a priest. But then it all fell apart.

And so um, I knew that I really didn't want to be a priest and didn't want to be a celibate, though I could probably manage it. Um, and um, ultimately I left.

So nonetheless given the importance that was placed on sport in Australia, I wanted to be part of that scene, particularly since I had felt very strongly in my early schooling being marginalised even in the Catholic school.

It's not like we fell apart. It was just unlucky.

Now, if the sources fell apart, then we need to find out how we've gotten ourselves in that position.

When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death.
