Australian Catholic University's Dr Kevin Donnelly says he can see "no real reason" for a recommendation for the Catholic Mass to begin with a Welcome to Country ceremony.

The Australian reports the recommendation is "contained in a set of proposals to the Church’s Plenary Council" and will be voted on later this year.

"I'd say it's time for people of good faith to focus on the issues that really matter, not to virtue signal, not to have that sort of moral superiority," Dr Donnelly told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

"That they actually focus on the real issue here, as Jacinta Price argues ... as to what we can do in a practical, realistic way."
