Iranian overstayer sent back to prison
http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3864507a12855,00.html
An Iranian overstayer was yesterday sent back to Mt Eden Remand Prison where
he has spent the past two years because he refuses to return to his homeland
for fear of persecution. Immigration Department lawyers successfully argued
Hossein Yadegary â€" also known as Thomas Yadegary since converting to
Christianity â€" should continue to be detained...

Actor who is Joseph in 'Nativity' film may not stay unknown for long
http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0606544.htm
Washington (CNS) -- Not too many people are likely to recognize Oscar Isaac,
the actor who plays Joseph in the new movie "The Nativity Story." Apart from
a couple of TV guest roles and a minor part in a four-year-old movie, he
hasn't been seen on either the big or the small screen. That could change
after the Dec. 1 U.S. release date of "The Nativity Story" in which Mary is
portrayed by Keisha Castle-Hughes ...
History given new twist
http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/southlandtimes/0,2106,3862184a16343,00.html
Even school children will tell you, it's quite difficult to view history
dispassionately, writes Patricia Veltkamp-Smith. And for difficult, read
boring, boring, boring. Which is why it astonished that a potted history
talk given by John Prendergast at the 75th celebrations of St Theresa's
school proved the hit of the night.
Religious jibes keep TV watchdog busy

The Broadcasting Standards Authority has reported a declining number of
complaints, but says it was not under-worked in the year to June because of
the complex issues it had to deal with. In its annual report it says most of
the complaints it received were about two TV programmes - Popetown and South
Park...

ALL THINGS CATHOLIC
Analysis and commentary by John R. Allen
Weekly Analysis:
Turkey's unique history a challenge for this academic pope
As Benedict XVI's Nov. 28-Dec. 1 trip to Turkey draws near, one concern both
in the Vatican and at the Phanar, the headquarters of the Patriarch of
Constantinople, is that the post-Regensburg emphasis on Christian/Muslim
relations will overshadow the ecumenical thrust of the pope's visit,
intended to cap several decades of rapprochement between Rome and the "first
among equals" in the Orthodox world...
Further notes and commentary:
* Notes from Ireland on the archbishop, the pope, and Opus Dei
* Pope, curial cardinals affirm value of priestly celibacy
* Irish court holds that an embryo is not "unborn" life
* Benedict XVI, top aides to discuss Milingo and celibacy
* Positive energy from deacons and wives of Region One
