ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post about Mathew Joseph Brodie!\
I had no idea that he was the first *Real* New Zealander-Catholic Bishop, I thought they only introduced that to NZ in the early 1900's.
Next time I would recommend talking about what your focus was about and if any of your other classmates where doing similar things.
Otherwise I really enjoyed reading!
