Former British Labour MP John Battle became Blair’s faith envoy not long before the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States. Battle, who is in New Zealand as a guest of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues at the University of Otago, spoke at Christ Church Cathedral yesterday. ‘‘It’s much calmer here. A Catholic preaching in an Anglican church? That would be a real big event in Leeds,’’ he said.

http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/press-and-sex-abuse-crisis-2010
Under the best of circumstances, the Vatican and the secular media struggle to understand each other, and the first half of 2010 was hardly the best of times.
