John McGeachie has been stabbed on five different occasions and shot
in the arm, by a "gang of rascals". But he's not a policeman or a
corrections officer. He's a former Brother of the Roman Catholic
Congregation of the Passion.

A Catholic church is catering for its growing numbers by selling off a

One of the very few senior Anzac officers whose reputation is seen
positively in retrospect a century after the Gallipoli campaign of
1915 is the commander of the Wellington battalion: Lieutenant-colonel
William Malone. Now, he has a biography worthy of his achievements.

The need for collective bargaining and decent wages, and condemnation
of a culture of greed were popular calls at a weekend seminar looking
for ways to overcome family poverty. Hosted by the Palmerston North
Catholic Diocesan Justice, Peace and Development Commission, the
public meeting considered what it would take for all families to
flourish.

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST

http://station15.co.nz/

Episode 96, September 15, 2015 — On Syria, sins, shopping and scaring

The Syrian refugee crisis has dominated the world news, and it rightly
leads this month's episode of the podcast, including the reaction of
the Pope and Catholic bishops around the world. Thankfully,
governments around the world have responded to pressure from those
leaders, and there is increasing support for those in such difficult
circumstances. Other big stories from around the Catholic world
include the Pope's announced changes to absolution laws and annulment
procedures, the New Zealand Government's changes to Easter shopping
laws and Donald Trump's ideas about "scaring" Pope Francis. If that's
got you stressed out, maybe a relaxing nap atop a 55-metre-high wind
turbine might be just what you need.
