Pope's Sweden trip a lab experiment in Catholic-Lutheran cooperation
Although the main event of Pope Francis's Sweden visit on Monday and Tuesday are the two commemorations with global Lutheran leaders, the Lutheran-Catholic relationship on the ground reflects both cooperation and major differences, despite the fact that if all Sweden's 115,000 Catholics turned up in Rome, they'd struggle to fill St. Peter's Square.

The English bishop William Kenney is a key figure in the official Catholic-Lutheran dialogue, and will be with Pope Francis in Sweden at the end of the month. He believes unity is a matter of decades away, and it's possible that Francis may use the trip to make a gesture on inter-communion.

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST


Elections, Episcopacy, Elevation, Ecumenism and Exorcism (October 15, 2016)

The longest — and most negative — presidential campaign in history is coming to a close. Don, James and Gavin talk about the Pope's advice for US voters: Study the policies, pray and vote your conscience. Where does that leave voters? The panel also discuss a new bishop in Australia, who's actually a New Zealander, the new group of cardinals and what that says about Pope Francis's vision for the Church, and also the ecumenical efforts of Anglican and Catholic leaders, including two Kiwi bishops. And this month's light story isn't all that light; in fact, it's pretty dark. Does the world have enough exorcists? Enjoy another diverse episode of The 15th Station.

Auxiliary Bishop Robert Barron of Los Angeles says what he took away from the Vatican's "baby bishops school" is a stronger sense of his ordination not just for L.A., but for the whole Church, and a new appreciation for the staggering variety of challenges the Church faces around the world.

** The beat goes on for the Pope of the Peripheries
In a year when Pope Francis has said he won't spare much time for travel, the pontiff said that in 2017 he'll go to Fatima, India and Bangladesh, hopes to make it to Africa, and perhaps will go to Colombia. Notably absent are any other stops in "the center," meaning Western Europe or North America.

Marist man and operatic society stalwart (photo)
Waikato Times Weekend
Like water and oil there are things in this world that do not naturally present themselves as good combinations. Rugby and operatic, for example. Luckily for him no-one ever told refrigeration engineer Pat Rice that. For Pat, who died aged 82, was happily and successfully both a Marist Rugby Club and Hamilton Operatic Society stalwart.

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST


September 16, 2016
Episode 108 — Popes, Saints, Veeps and Zuck

The canonisation of Mother Teresa — now St Teresa of Calcutta — was the big news story of the month, and it takes top billing in this episode of The 15th Station. But news of two Popes isn't too far behind, after an interview with Pope Benedict was released, prompting a flurry of media stories. For Pope Francis, it was him being chosen as the world's most inspirational leader by former NZ Prime Minister Helen Clark and his meeting with Mark Zuckerberg that features on the show. And, with less than two months until the US election, Democrat VP candidate Tim Kaine raised eyebrows with his prediction the Catholic Church might eventually join the ranks of those who support same-sex marriage. Find out if Don, James and Gavin disagree.

'Crux' is a free online magazine of articles on Catholic issues. On Crux now ...

** Pope's inter-faith summit in Assisi belongs to an ongoing revolution
When Pope Francis convenes a summit of religious leaders next Tuesday in Assisi, it's neither maverick nor ho-hum. Instead, it marks the latest chapter in an ongoing revolution.

** Padre Pio shows the Church can be democratic after all
The popular devotion to Padre Pio that propelled him to sainthood shows that the Catholic Church, while not a democracy, is not indifferent to the voice of the people.

** Seeing Trump v. Clinton through Catholic eyes
The dynamics of the 2016 race illustrate some worrying trends in American life, including deepening divisions and rising levels of rage. Seen through Catholic eyes the race also suggests that the Church has a fairly unique capacity to make a difference.

** On anniversary, can we finally catch Benedict's point at Regensburg?
Today marks the 10th anniversary of emeritus Pope Benedict XVI's controversial speech at Regensburg. After a decade of debate, can we finally catch the real point Benedict was trying to make that day? (Hint: It wasn't about Islam.)
