When Father Syril Crosbie seized the day, the day got seized all
right. He was a robust Catholic priest with an adventurous streak and
nary a trace of puckered piety...

STATION XV

Station XV: Episode 71 — It's our birthday; let us eat cake (August 15, 2013)

It's hard to believe that it's six years since The 15th Station sprung
into life in a small office in Auckland, but the crew invites SQPN
legend Steve Nelson into Rendition Studios to share in the birthday
celebration. The remarkable events of World Youth Day in Rio, and the
subsequent unremarkable comments on the flight back that generated
headlines around the world, dominate this month's episode. James, Don,
Shannon, Steve and Gavin also talk about Lumen Fidei, the joint
Francis/Benedict encyclical, a doctor who has an interesting
philosophy on prescribing contraceptives and the impending
canonisation of Popes John Paul II and John XXIII.

An American makes the pope's lineup, and Christians in Syria and Egypt
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/american-makes-pope-s-lineup-and-christians-syria-and-egypt

Changes in administrations always trigger a game of musical chairs,
and it's well underway in the Vatican right now. Cardinal Tarcisio
Bertone, Benedict XVI's Secretary of State, is on his way out, while
Archbishop Georg Gänswein, though still running the papal household,
is no longer the pope's go-to guy. One figure navigating the
transition to Francis quite nicely, however, is a key American insider
under Benedict too: Msgr. Peter Wells, who holds the critical job of
assessor in the Secretariat of State...
