FROM THE SECULAR MEDIA

***********************

Radio New Zealand. Saturday Morning, with Kim Hill
Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga - Vatican reform
http://podcast.radionz.co.nz/sat/sat-20131012-0810-cardinal_oscar_rodriguez_maradiaga_-_vatican_reform-048.mp3
An interview with Cardinal Maradiaga, the president of Caritas
Internationalis and the chairman of the group of cardinals appointed
by Pope Francis to advise him on the reform of the Roman Curia, the
central government of the Catholic Church. The cardinal is in New
Zealand to consult our bishops on the project. Here's a taster of Kim
Hill's style:

Kim: Why did you choose the Church?
Cardinal: To choose the Church is a call from Jesus Christ.
Kim: How did he get in touch with you?


Opinion: Pope Francis is revolutionising Church
http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/opinion/comment/9255100/Pope-Francis-is-revolutionising-Church
The Pope is not everyone's idea of someone we should pay heed to and
in general terms, the secular or irreligious world sees him as merely
a figurehead for something it neither understands nor cares to
understand. However, Pope Francis is changing that and in papal terms,
at a staggering pace...

Francis' 'older son' problem; red herrings; and pingpong on financial reform

If a Las Vegas casino had opened a betting line eight months ago on
the likelihood that within a year the most popular figure on the

awfully long. Yet that's basically today's situation ...
