Catholic Church applauds Pope's stand
New Zealand's Catholic Church says it's heartened by Pope Francis's
willingness to tackle child abuse.
But a spokesperson says the Church can't comment on whether figures
released by the Pope reflect the New Zealand situation. The Church's
director of professional standards, Bill Kilgallon, said it was
impossible to apply such statistics to New Zealand.

Station XV: Episode 82 — Victims, Venerable, Villains and Victors
(July 15, 2014)

In the July 2014 episode of The 15th Station, Lucy, James and Gavin
venture from the sad to the joyous, the sacramental to the sporting,
the saintly to the shady. Pope Francis's meeting with sex abuse
victims, the promotion of Baptism for students in Catholic schools and
the Pope's excommunication of the mafia are all covered in this show.
The panel also covers the papal World Cup Final — between Benedict's
Germany and Francis's Argentina — and discusses the efforts that may
lead to New Zealand's first saint. You can learn more about the film
