In living memory

Merle and Keith O'Donnell died in 2015 within three months of each other. Both in the nearby Calvary Hospital as it happens, and the irony's not lost on Scott that his mum was a director of Presbyterian Support Services. Both his parents were strong Presbyterians who died in a facility established by the Catholic community. But when any of us needs the right care then that becomes the imperative...

STATION XV
http://station15.co.nz/
Episode 143 — Resignation, Canonisation, Ordination, Consultation and Condemnation (October 16, 2019)
The resignation of Palmerston North Bishop Charles Drennan for inappropriate behaviour with a young woman was a great shock to the Church in New Zealand — and the Station 15 panel. That big story leads this episode, which (as always) traverses the globe. This month, the panel ventures to Rome via Oxford, with the canonisation of St John Henry Newman, and then to the Amazon via Rome, as a Synod of Bishops considers the life of the Church in the Amazon. Back in New Zealand, abortion legislation is on the political agenda. But is the Government playing fair? It's certainly not fair to steal a church's air conditioner, but is it OK to condemn that person to hell? Yes, it's an episode as diverse as it sounds. Enjoy

In synod's married priests debate, somebody finally names elephant in the room
https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2019/10/17/in-synods-married-priests-debate-somebody-finally-names-elephant-in-the-room/
In a Synod of Bishops where priest shortages in the Amazon have been driving discussion of ordaining married men, the surprise really isn't that someone finally noticed there's another solution, one that doesn't require changing the traditional criteria for getting a Roman collar. The only surprise, probably, is that it's taken this long for someone to say it out loud...
