Life behind the wall
http://origin-interactives.stuff.co.nz/carmel/
Along a main road in Christchurch, 15 minutes from the city's centre,
a block of land is enclosed by a high stone wall. Most passersby
wouldn't know this is the Carmelite Monastery, home to 10 women — nuns
— who have committed their lives to contemplative prayer and a deep
relationship with God. Shut off from the world, they pray for us. For
this story, Carmelite Sister Cushla borrowed our reporter's camera to
document scenes of the nuns' daily life, offering the world a glimpse
behind the wall...

Two pins in South Korea show a pope doing it his way
http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2014/08/23/two-pins-south-korea-show-pope-doing-his-way/aFb5ZEsdpv65ja1jPzoh3O/story.html

Understandably, reaction to Pope Francis' latest airborne press
conference on Aug. 18, during his return flight from South Korea to
Rome, has centered on whether his comments on US airstrikes in Iraq
represent an endorsement or a rebuke. Whatever one makes of the
answer, everyone knew the question was coming and the pope had been
prepped. His words seemed to reflect some diplomatic balance and
circumspection, rather than his trademark spontaneity. If you want the
best insight from that session into who Francis really is, you need to
look elsewhere...
