Summary
After 18 years leading St John’s Cathedral in Brisbane, Dean Peter Catt is stepping down amid controversy sparked by his involvement in a Stan reality show that filmed adult content creators inside the historic church. The episode, which featured UK OnlyFans star Lily Phillips receiving communion from Catt, was meant to promote faith and inclusion but instead ignited backlash — especially over footage of congregants and children not part of the original agreement. Catt apologized for the unintended harm, acknowledging the distress caused and recognizing it was time to end his ministry. Stan has blurred or removed sensitive clips at the diocese’s request, while the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane now reviews its filming policies. Catt’s final service will be held September 27th — a moment that underscores the delicate balance between spiritual outreach and media engagement.
