Palmerston North's St Peter's College principal David Olivier was the
principal of Christian Brothers' College Mount Edmund in Pretoria. On
the day of Nelson Mandela's famous inauguration in 1994, between 100
and 150 of Olivier's students were used as ushers for the celebration
in recognition of the Catholic school's decision to open their doors
to all races after the Soweto uprising in 1976.

Alternatives to East-West Link sought (full text; audio report)
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/regional/229935/alternatives-to-east-west-link-sought
Auckland Transport has proposed four possible routes for the $1
billion East-West Link through Otahuhu and Mangere, which some
residents say could destroy up to 500 homes. A meeting of the
council's infrastructure committee on Wednesday voted to ask the
transport agency to consider options that don't involve major roads
and consult thoroughly with the public. A spokesperson for the Mangere
Catholic Parishes, Teresa Ah Wa, says despite calls to look at
alternatives, she is not confident that communities will be consulted.
She believes the current proposals are violating people's rights, and
parishioners fear the worst for the community and schools in the area.
A petition against the link with 4000 signatures was presented to
Parliament on Tuesday.

Peter Calder: Mission incredible - 110 years of care (photo)

Seafarers of the world have found a warm welcome at the waterfront
centre for more than a century.
The newest development, fronted by Josh Emett of MasterChef fame,
carries an echo of the area's past in its name, Seafarers. The
building's original purpose has not entirely passed into history. It
survives in the Auckland International Seafarers Centre, on the first
floor of the building's Quay St frontage. It's all that remains of the
Mission to Seafarers (in less inclusive days it was called the Mission
to Seamen, of course)...

Pastoral care of continuing importance (photo)
http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/283262/pastoral-care-continuing-importance
Pastoral care and peacemaking remain key parts of an ancient tradition
of chaplaincy, Emeritus Prof Colin Gibson said last night.
Prof Gibson, a former long-serving member of the Otago Tertiary
Chaplaincy Trust Board, was speaking at an anniversary dinner to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Otago chaplaincy
service in 1963.

Wise nun sets example for church, by Karl du Fresne (photo)

I've never been able to use the term "heart-warming" without a
slightly derisive sneer. But a couple of days ago I watched a film
that really was heart-warming, in the sense that you left the theatre
feeling better about life and your fellow human beings than you might
have been when you walked in. Gardening with Soul is a feature-length
documentary about Sister Loyola Galvin.

Syrian Christians; pope-mania; and a looming check-up on Vatican finances
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/syrian-christians-pope-mania-and-looming-check-vatican-finances

Syria's roll call of missing Christians continues to grow. In April,
Islamic militants kidnapped two Orthodox prelates. In July, the same
fate befell Italian Fr. Paolo Dall'Oglio, a well-known Jesuit pioneer
in Christian/Muslim relations and anti-Assad activist. Given the
courage and persistence shown by the country's religious women, it was
probably inevitable that sooner or later it would be their turn, and
that's precisely what happened this week...

Mass for the masses (photo caption: full text)
http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/9437212/Mass-for-the-masses
More than 8000 Catholics gathered at the CBS Arena in Christchurch
yesterday to celebrate the conclusion of the Year of Faith. The mass
was celebrated by Bishop Barry Jones, the Catholic Bishop of
Christchurch, and was part of a day of activities including a cultural
festival and choirs. The bishop's pastoral office director, Mike
Stopforth, said most masses in the greater Christchurch area had been
combined and it was a chance to celebrate faith together. A choral
performance featured more than 400 children, aged between 8 and 13,
from 24 Canterbury schools.

Archbishop David Moxon grew up in Palmerston North and went to
Freyberg High School. He was in the All Saints' choir, and attended
Massey University before doing his theological training. Now, he has
been entrusted as a pivotal player in building relationships between
the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches at the highest level. And
John Hornblow and Jenny Boyack have helped in the task ...

"If you are not affected by the Philippines disaster, you can't be
human. It is a worldwide issue of humanity which goes beyond the
boundaries of culture and religion." The words of Dargaville Catholic
church priest Father Alfredo Garcia are stern yet warm, as he explains
what it's like for a Filipino community miles away from their
typhoon-ravaged home country.

was celebrating its 140th anniversary and also the 120th anniversary
of the laying of the foundation stone in 1893 by Bishop Moran for the
Francis W. Petrie-designed basilica.

Francis and a church that breathes with both lungs
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/francis-and-church-breathes-both-lungs

There's no mistaking the fact that Pope Francis' new apostolic
exhortation, "Joy of the Gospel," released Tuesday by the Vatican,
amounts to a call for fairly sweeping change on multiple fronts. Yet
there's a deeper sense in which "The Joy of the Gospel" stands in
clear continuity with Francis' immediate predecessor, Benedict XVI,
and in particular his 2009 social encyclical Caritas in Veritate. In
effect, both documents amount to full-frontal assaults not on Catholic
doctrine or discipline, but on contemporary Catholic sociology...

The Pope and I
A key figure in the new Vatican regime tells of the winds of change
blowing through the Church.
By Karl du Fresne
NZ Listener 14 November 2013
http://www.listener.co.nz/current-affairs/the-pope-and-i/
Is this a pointer to a new-look Catholic Church? Cardinal Óscar
Rodríguez Maradiaga of Honduras, who is personally close to the Pope
and was once considered a prime candidate for the papacy himself, is
visiting New Zealand. That is rare enough, but what would once have
seemed almost unthinkable is that he has offered himself for
interviews with the secular media. Even the Wellington-based
communications adviser to the Catholic bishops seems pleasantly taken
aback at his openness... [This article in the New Zealand Listener,

Station XV: Episode 74 — The Pope, the Cardinals and "Lesus" Christ
(November 15, 2013)

Is the Church about to become a democracy? And a democracy that has
women cardinals, no less? Your answers to those questions will depend
on which news sources you've been reading over the past few weeks.
Pope Francis is surveying dioceses and parishes to get some insight
into family life in preparation for next year's synod on the topic,
and there's been conjecture he'll appoint women cardinals at his first
consistory in February. What we do know is that a Latin American
cardinal thinks New Zealand should have a louder voice in Rome, a
$20,000 bathtub isn't a great idea and someone forgot to proofread
some new Vatican coins. Join James, Don and Gavin for this month's
show.

I've covered eight synods, and while they've all been useful sounding
boards, none has ever really taken the world by storm. Generally,
they're insider stories, covered by specialists and ignored by pretty
much everyone else. Yet on Wednesday, I actually found myself on CNN
using the terms lineamenta and instrumentum laboris, bits of
vocabulary concerning a synod I would have sworn would never come out

Playin' church with Francis; the 'Bergoglio of Saskatchewan'; and Iraq
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/playin-church-francis-bergoglio-saskatchewan-and-iraq

No matter where one stands on the spectrum of reaction Francis has
elicited, from the most enthusiastic to the most ambivalent, it's
undeniable he's got the world's attention. In theory, that should
represent a boon to the new evangelization, the effort to relight the
church's missionary fires that became Catholicism's highest internal
priority under Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. One reliable
method for squandering the momentum, however, would be to divert it
into the church's internal battles...

Illegal policy cheats widower

Blanche Brosnahan lived and died in poverty. The only thing she left

him out of that paltry sum by illegally applying policies intended to
help people living on the bread line.

Hackett interview; Gotti Tedeschi; Lefebvrists; and speaking dates
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/hackett-interview-gotti-tedeschi-lefebvrists-and-speaking-dates

Using categories made famous by Joseph Nye, the United States is the
world's leading "hard power" and the Vatican among its most
influential "soft powers." In that light, one way of defining the role
of a U.S. ambassador to the Holy See is getting these two superpowers
in sync on shared humanitarian concerns: feeding the hungry, fighting
poverty, curbing war, fostering dialogue, and so on. If that's the
job, there's a strong case that few people ever have been more
qualified for it than Ken Hackett...
