FROM THE SECULAR MEDIA

Dear Readers,
The following interview is recommended by Gavin Abraham in the current 'NZ Catholic' (p.6) as a good example of the kind of service 'Catholic Voices' provides. Starting in the UK and now operating in the U.S. and Australia, Catholic Voices provides a pool of young adult Catholic laypeople who are available for interview by the secular media and have been trained to present a calm and rational Catholic viewpoint on the headline issues of the moment. Gavin thinks it would be a good idea here too -

ALL THINGS CATHOLIC - John L. Allen Jr


Four fronts where the Vatican isn't the real problem
There are four quagmires I've come to regard over the years as the Vatican's "Neverending Stories." They are:
