Bishop apologises to Dunedin: 'It's indefensible' (photo)
Michael Dooley, the Bishop of Dunedin, has apologised to the city and asked for forgiveness, after admitting the Catholic Church failed to protect children from paedophiles disguised as men of the cloth. And, as more victims continue to come forward, he has also added his voice to growing calls for churches to be included in the Government's upcoming Royal Commission into historic abuse.

Bishop's open letter tells of pain, distress (photo)
Days after Pope Francis wrote an open letter to all Catholics, condemning child abuse and its concealment within the Church, the Bishop of Dunedin has followed in his footsteps. Dunedin Bishop the Most Rev Michael Dooley yesterday made public a letter he has penned to his diocese, which is to be included in parish newsletters across the lower South Island.

Auckland Churches hit with biblical rates' rises
Auckland Council will urgently review the rates' bills of the City's Churches after hundreds were issued huge rises – one of 6900%. The Council issued new rates' bills, without consultation, to hundreds of Churches earlier this month, claiming many were using all or parts of their property for business, not religious purposes.

Arrowtown Olive Leaf encounters objections (video)
Residents claim a proposed community centre to be built next to an historic church could set a precedent for Arrowtown's character to be whittled away. The NoLeaf Incorporated Society was formed to object to the Olive Leaf Centre Trust's proposals, for a multi-purpose building beside the St Patrick's Catholic Church.

Historic 'tomo' church used as an illegal rubbish tip (photos)
A large tomo once used by early Dalmatian gum diggers as a church and camp cook house has been damaged after being used illegally as a dumping ground for household rubbish and refuse. Kaipara District Council has just spent $30,000 cleaning the site and disposing of the rubbish for health and safety reasons.
