of a Caritas report, Small yet strong: Voices from Oceania on the
environment.

Episode 84 — Matrimony, Electioneering and Technology (September 16, 2014)

The Pope conducting a mass wedding ceremony is usually grounds enough
for big news, but when some of the couples are announced to have been
cohabiting and having had children before tying the knot, it creates
even more headlines. Lucy, James and Gavin are on the case, wrestling
with the tricky issue, as well as looking at Archbishop John Dew's
reflection on the state of New Zealand politics, a willingness for
more NZ victims of clerical sex abuse to come forward and Pope
Francis's latest first — an international Google Hangout with a group
of young people. The show concludes with an uplifting story of grace
under difficult circumstances. Enjoy the show.

Cardinals jousting in public? Been there, done that
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2014/09/18/cardinals-jousting-in-public-been-there-done-that/

Back in February, I was sitting in a Rome restaurant with a member of
the College of Cardinals the day after retired Cardinal Walter Kasper
of Germany had delivered an impassioned appeal to fellow members of
the church's most exclusive club for relaxing the church's ban on
divorced and remarried Catholics receiving Communion. I asked the
cardinal what he made of Kasper's speech. He put a pained expressed on
his face, paused as if to measure to his words, and then delivered the
following verdict. "That guy," he said, "is off his rocker." Our
conversation was on background, but in recent days the anti-Kasper
backlash has burst into full public view ...
