Today, my heralds and messengers, I have a mission for you!  Go forth into all the lands proclaiming that the whole “St. Mary MacKillop the Whistleblower” story is a false urban legend.  As you might expect, it’s a legend that has been cooked up and glued on to the saint because it reflects the angers and anxieties of the period in which she is being canonized, not the facts about the saint.  This is the sort of lie that gets halfway round the world before truth can get its shoes on.

Still, she’s a fascinating character who suffered much (as is often the case) from her fellow Catholics and won through to holiness.

That is all!
