I might really be showing my ignorance here... but I'm going for it anyway!

I think that the wonderful worship music by "Hillsong" is from Australia... right? Perhaps it's not a music group/band but a congregation? Anyway - I listen to their music a lot and it's such an encouragement to fill my home with their beautiful, sincere worship music. But this morning I saw a comment on a YouTube video, supposedly by the pastor of the congregation?, that sounded pretty anti-Catholic to me. Sad!

So, Australian 4Real friends, can you help? Is Hillsong an Australian group and/or congregation? And, more importantly, are they anti-Catholic? I'm so sad to think they are, and not sure if I need to have their music in my home any longer if so...

Hillsong is a massive Protestant church, a charismatic, independent church. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they are anti-C.

They appear to be anti C.

I think the pastors are very ignorant to our faith, and as with all these people, we need to show them our love.
I have friends who have gone to this church, but they only last a season- it has a big turn over in its congregation. I could go on, but I won't.
Hillsong music is wonderful in its place, but.......
.. good news, there is some great music by other Artists like Matt Maher. He is Canadian. Getting a lot of airplay here and he's Catholic-

We rarely listen to hillsong now, we have discovered Matts new album.
