Pope's house in NZ up for sale (video report)
http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411365/1410564
It has been over 20 years since Pope John Paul 2 visited New Zealand but an
unusual piece of Pope memorabilia has just come up for sale. The Kitset
House the Pontiff used during his short stay in NZ has been home for the
past nine years to a Howick family and they say its been specially blessed.
Back in 1986, the three bedroom house was the base for the Pope during his
flying visit to Auckland but today its the home base for Ray and Dianne and
their two children, but not for much longer.

ALL THINGS CATHOLIC
Analysis and commentary by John R. Allen

Global South underrepresented in college of cardinals
In naming 23 new cardinals on Wednesday, Pope Benedict XVI chose to
acknowledge one bit of demographic reality, but largely ignored a much
bigger one. Americans have noted, and rightly so, that the nomination of
Archbishop Daniel DiNardo in Houston accurately reflects a shift in Catholic
population in the United States away from the East Coast, towards the South
