Wellington's Archbishop John Dew is in a list of 20 new Catholic
cardinals, announced by Pope Francis. Ahead of his trip to Rome to be
formally elevated next month, he talks about how life as a cardinal
might improve his Italian, and what he'd cook if the pope came to
dinner.

Pope Francis has rebooted the debate on family and sexual mores
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/01/20/pope-francis-has-rebooted-the-debate-on-the-family-and-sexual-mores/

Popes, like politicians, tend to craft their messages for multiple
audiences. Although Francis' principal concentration [during his visit
to the Philippines] may have been on the Filipinos who defied a
tropical storm to turn out in the millions, he simultaneously seemed
to be speaking to a much smaller group, one that wasn't even
physically present. In effect, Francis appeared to be talking to the
roughly 300 bishops and other Church leaders who will make up the next
Synod of Bishops on the Family in October...
