Is the Catholic Church Stepping Up to Help West Papua?






With East Timor the Catholic Church was one of the key groups that pressured the Australian Government into freeing East Timor.

The following links give some background:

The Catholic Church through the pacific islands has been lobbying for West Papua's freedom for quite some time. And now, with thanks to Anthony Craig, we're seeing the Catholic Church in Australia getting more interested in West Papua. 

Please refer to the link to a document from the Australian Catholic Social Justice Council.

The FWPP encourages WP supporters to lobby their Catholic connections within Australia and share this post with them.

The FWPP recognizes the Catholic Church's roles in freeing East Timor and now we encourage them to help free West Papua as well.

West Papua Merdeka!
