Each holiday season, regardless of which political party is in power,
we hear from all sections of society about the need to reduce the road
toll. The road toll is a relatively depoliticised tool. By contrast,
the question of the measurement of child poverty is complex, hard to
understand and has become a highly polarised matter...

Station XV: Episode 75 — Exhortations, Commendations and Affiliations
(December 16, 2013)
Pope Francis continues to dominate headlines around the world — and
discussion on the Station 15 podcast network — with his naming as
Time's Person of the Year and the release of his apostolic exhortation
Evangelii Gaudium. The Church in New Zealand has also been in the
news, with the release of Census data about religious affiliation
showing Catholics the largest Christian denomination for the first
time as "no religion" continues to soar ahead, and the NZ bishops
calling for people to be mindful of their attitude at Christmas, with
love of neighbour taking precedence over consumerism. There's also a
bit of fun around Pope Francis's other end-of-year awards. Happy
Christmas from the team at The 15th Station.

A pope with no down time and an interview with the Vatican's financial reformer
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/pope-no-down-time-and-interview-vaticans-financial-reformer
Not so long ago, the yuletide season at the Vatican meant calm. The
pope and the Curia went into semi-hibernation while hearing Advent
sermons from the Preacher of the Papal Household while the system was
on a basic hiatus, with no real drama rolling out of Rome until well
into January. In the Francis era, however, there's no "off" switch,
which makes me very glad I've been in Rome this week...

Census points to non-religious NZ
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/9501270/Census-points-to-non-religious-NZ
Census 2013 figures released yesterday show any claim to a Christian
majority in New Zealand is shaky, with fewer than 1.9 million people
affiliated with a church, down from more than 2 million in 2006.
Anglicans have taken the biggest hit, losing nearly 100,000 followers,
with the flock dropping to just 459,000. The sharp drop means
Catholicism is, for the first time, New Zealand's most popular
religion, with 492,000 devotees, down from 508,000 in 2006.

While pop culture remains fascinated by small clues to Pope Francis'
personality -- such as the fact that he was once a bouncer -- we got a
reminder on Sunday of something far more fundamental, albeit a point
that probably won't get much play on TMZ: his incredibly strong
devotion to the Virgin Mary...

religion, with 492,000 devotees, down from 508,000 in 2006.

based on the old adage of forgiving and forgetting but on its
opposite: forgiving and remembering.

While pop culture remains fascinated by small clues to Pope Francis'
personality -- such as the fact that he was once a bouncer -- we got a
reminder on Sunday of something far more fundamental, albeit a point
that probably won't get much play on TMZ: his incredibly strong
devotion to the Virgin Mary...

Alternatives to East-West Link sought (full text; audio report)
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/regional/229935/alternatives-to-east-west-link-sought
Auckland Transport has proposed four possible routes for the $1
billion East-West Link through Otahuhu and Mangere, which some
residents say could destroy up to 500 homes. A meeting of the
council's infrastructure committee on Wednesday voted to ask the
transport agency to consider options that don't involve major roads
and consult thoroughly with the public. A spokesperson for the Mangere
Catholic Parishes, Teresa Ah Wa, says despite calls to look at
alternatives, she is not confident that communities will be consulted.
She believes the current proposals are violating people's rights, and
parishioners fear the worst for the community and schools in the area.
A petition against the link with 4000 signatures was presented to
Parliament on Tuesday.

Mass for the masses (photo caption: full text)
http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/9437212/Mass-for-the-masses
More than 8000 Catholics gathered at the CBS Arena in Christchurch
yesterday to celebrate the conclusion of the Year of Faith. The mass
was celebrated by Bishop Barry Jones, the Catholic Bishop of
Christchurch, and was part of a day of activities including a cultural
festival and choirs. The bishop's pastoral office director, Mike
Stopforth, said most masses in the greater Christchurch area had been
combined and it was a chance to celebrate faith together. A choral
performance featured more than 400 children, aged between 8 and 13,
from 24 Canterbury schools.

Archbishop David Moxon grew up in Palmerston North and went to
Freyberg High School. He was in the All Saints' choir, and attended
Massey University before doing his theological training. Now, he has
been entrusted as a pivotal player in building relationships between
the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches at the highest level. And
John Hornblow and Jenny Boyack have helped in the task ...

"If you are not affected by the Philippines disaster, you can't be
human. It is a worldwide issue of humanity which goes beyond the
boundaries of culture and religion." The words of Dargaville Catholic
church priest Father Alfredo Garcia are stern yet warm, as he explains
what it's like for a Filipino community miles away from their
typhoon-ravaged home country.
Parish celebrates 140th anniversary

St Patrick's Basilica attracted a steady stream of visitors on
Saturday during celebrations for a dual anniversary. The Oamaru parish
was celebrating its 140th anniversary and also the 120th anniversary
of the laying of the foundation stone in 1893 by Bishop Moran for the
Francis W. Petrie-designed basilica.

The secret to a long life is eating proper food and ''wanting to
live'', Wellingtonian Peggy Horne says. Mrs Horne said she was amazed
to have reached 100 years, many of which were spent with her two
children, three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Her
Catholic faith was the key to staying positive over the years, she

Francis and a church that breathes with both lungs
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/francis-and-church-breathes-both-lungs
There's no mistaking the fact that Pope Francis' new apostolic
exhortation, "Joy of the Gospel," released Tuesday by the Vatican,
amounts to a call for fairly sweeping change on multiple fronts. Yet
there's a deeper sense in which "The Joy of the Gospel" stands in
clear continuity with Francis' immediate predecessor, Benedict XVI,
and in particular his 2009 social encyclical Caritas in Veritate. In
effect, both documents amount to full-frontal assaults not on Catholic
doctrine or discipline, but on contemporary Catholic sociology...

The Taumarunui Catholic Church has just commemorated the centenary of
a parish priest who's legacy in Taumarunui continues.
Father Wilson founded the Celtic Sports Club which became the nucleus
of the Taumarunui Convent Building Fund. He was also believed to have
been involved in the building of the Manunui Church.
Father Wilson, who was a parish priest for less than two years, was
struck down with leukemia and died aged only 31.

a parish priest who's legacy in Taumarunui continues.
Father Wilson founded the Celtic Sports Club which became the nucleus
of the Taumarunui Convent Building Fund. He was also believed to have
been involved in the building of the Manunui Church.
Father Wilson, who was a parish priest for less than two years, was
struck down with leukemia and died aged only 31.

The Pope and I
A key figure in the new Vatican regime tells of the winds of change
blowing through the Church.
By Karl du Fresne
NZ Listener 14 November 2013
http://www.listener.co.nz/current-affairs/the-pope-and-i/
Is this a pointer to a new-look Catholic Church? Cardinal Óscar
RodrÃguez Maradiaga of Honduras, who is personally close to the Pope
and was once considered a prime candidate for the papacy himself, is
visiting New Zealand. That is rare enough, but what would once have
seemed almost unthinkable is that he has offered himself for
interviews with the secular media. Even the Wellington-based
communications adviser to the Catholic bishops seems pleasantly taken
aback at his openness... [This article in the New Zealand Listener,

Station XV: Episode 74 — The Pope, the Cardinals and "Lesus" Christ
(November 15, 2013)
Is the Church about to become a democracy? And a democracy that has
women cardinals, no less? Your answers to those questions will depend
on which news sources you've been reading over the past few weeks.
Pope Francis is surveying dioceses and parishes to get some insight
into family life in preparation for next year's synod on the topic,
and there's been conjecture he'll appoint women cardinals at his first
consistory in February. What we do know is that a Latin American
cardinal thinks New Zealand should have a louder voice in Rome, a
$20,000 bathtub isn't a great idea and someone forgot to proofread
some new Vatican coins. Join James, Don and Gavin for this month's
show.

Modesty prevented Robin Craw talking about World War II for 60 years.
Then the rugged Banks Peninsula farmer decided to leave the family a

courage through it all.
The Pope and I
A key figure in the new Vatican regime tells of the winds of change
blowing through the Church.

Is this a pointer to a new-look Catholic Church? Cardinal Óscar
RodrÃguez Maradiaga of Honduras, who is personally close to the Pope
and was once considered a prime candidate for the papacy himself, is
visiting New Zealand. That is rare enough, but what would once have
seemed almost unthinkable is that he has offered himself for
interviews with the secular media. Even the Wellington-based
communications adviser to the Catholic bishops seems pleasantly taken
aback at his openness... [This article in the New Zealand Listener,

Station XV: Episode 74 — The Pope, the Cardinals and "Lesus" Christ
(November 15, 2013)
Is the Church about to become a democracy? And a democracy that has
women cardinals, no less? Your answers to those questions will depend
on which news sources you've been reading over the past few weeks.
Pope Francis is surveying dioceses and parishes to get some insight
into family life in preparation for next year's synod on the topic,
and there's been conjecture he'll appoint women cardinals at his first
consistory in February. What we do know is that a Latin American
cardinal thinks New Zealand should have a louder voice in Rome, a
$20,000 bathtub isn't a great idea and someone forgot to proofread
some new Vatican coins. Join James, Don and Gavin for this month's
show.
