[11][12][13] Hickey is Knight Commander with Star and Grand Prior of the Lieutenancy of Australia Western of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre.

[15] On 5 June 2007 Hickey made a controversial statement by saying that if the Western Australian members of parliament who identified as Catholic did not oppose the Human Reproductive Technology Amendment Bill, which would allow expansion of stem cell research, then they could be refused Holy Communion or face excommunication as a last resort.

[18] Hickey chose the title based on an article in The Tablet where the author had written about his experience of the charismatic movement in the United Kingdom.
