Modesty prevented Robin Craw talking about World War II for 60 years.
Then the rugged Banks Peninsula farmer decided to leave the family a
record of his part in it. Daughter Margaret, who typed his
reminiscences, was amazed at the dangers he faced and his stoic
courage through it all.

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

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.
