Andrew Dickens: What happens in the confession box should stay there
https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/early-edition/opinion/andrew-dickens-what-happens-in-the-confession-box-should-stay-there/
The seal of the Catholic confessional. What's said in the confessional stays in the confessional. But not in Victoria Australia where legislation has been introduced to the state parliament which would effectively force priests to report suspected child abuse revealed to them in the confessional.
Child abuse laws being introduced for priests draws pushback

Review: John Paul College production Our Town
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/rotorua-daily-post/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503435&objectid=12257559
A great playwright of Thornton Wilder's pedigree deserves only the best of casts to perform his work. With John Paul College's production of his Pulitzer prize-wining play Our Town, he got it in spades and aces too. It's an amazing achievement that these teenagers at the Years 12 and 13 stage of their lives have the maturity to grasp and portray the essence of this early 20th century morality play.

Episode 141 — Happy birthday, unhappy topics (August 15, 2019)
As The 15th Station team celebrates its 12th birthday, it's not an entirely happy occasion as topics like abortion, an earthquake-ravaged cathedral, mass shootings and clerical sexual abuse all feature in one way or another. Although that probably reflects some of the more regular topics that the show has covered during those years. Join Anna, Don, James and Gavin as they review those stories and reflect on 12 years of podcasting. And thanks for being part of the Station 15 family over these years.

https://cruxnow.com/church-in-oceania/2019/08/16/australian-prelate-says-mandatory-reporting-seal-of-confession-not-mutually-exclusive/

** Battle of Bosworth Field turning point in English, and Catholic, history
https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2019/08/16/battle-of-bosworth-field-turning-point-in-english-and-catholic-history/
This weekend, the people of Leicestershire will commemorate the August 22, 1485 Battle of Bosworth Field, in which King Richard III was killed, leading to the crowning of Henry Tudor as King Henry VII of England. The Richard III Society is on hand at the Bosworth Medieval Festival to discuss their maligned hero, and last year one topic was raised that caused the ears of Catholics to prick up: Would England have become Protestant if Richard had won? ...

Saints Next Door video competition 2019
https://www.videocompetition.co.nz/
The Catholic Enquiry Centre is running a video competition open to all young people interested in sharing Pope Francis' Saint Next Door message. Pope Francis, in 2018, explained that we all can be holy. Being a Saint is not limited to high profile individuals. We all have a part to play in our communities. If we follow the values that Jesus taught, this help can improve the worlds we live in.
We need your help to tell the stories of the Saints that live in your world. Your hero could be a coach, teacher, friend, neighbour or family member. If you can capture the special things they do, then you could win yourself some cool new technology. Registration deadline: 23 August 2019. Entries must be submitted online by 30 August 2019.
