FROM THE SECULAR PRESS: NEWS OF THE SCHOOLS

New Zealand's youngest Tokyo Olympian, Erika Fairweather, enjoys
exceeding expectations
https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/olympics/125757250/new-zealands-youngest-tokyo-olympian-erika-fairweather-enjoys-exceeding-expectations
Erika Fairweather's alarm tends to go off at 4.30am, some four hours
before she starts school at Kavanagh College in Dunedin. But as a
swimmer, she has her eyes on an Olympic medal, an end goal which would
make all those early starts – and all the hours in the pool – worth it
...

Temuka pupils offer solutions to council on range of issues
https://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/news/125700941/temuka-pupils-offer-solutions-to-council-on-range-of-issues
Temuka St Joseph's School pupils have come up with some solutions to
problems in their town which have "impressed" their Timaru District

including lack of water fountains in the Domain, cigarette butt
litter, problems for the sight impaired finding grandstand seating,
and river flooding.

gumboots and headed out to Kintrye Farm, to plant a wetland area in
native trees ...

STATION XV (podcast)

http://station15.co.nz/

Episode 164 — Eucharist and University, Hospital and Hero (July 16, 2021)

The US Bishops and President Joe Biden continue to be pitted against
one another, with an upcoming document on the Eucharist seen as a shot
across Biden's bow. But is it just a teaching document on a key topic?
Anna, Don, James and Gavin discuss that, as well as the ongoing story
of Canadian residential schools and the Catholic Church, hopes for a
Catholic university in New Zealand and Pope Francis' recent surgery.
Maybe we just need a hero. Will Spider-Man do? Thanks for listening to
The 15th Station ...

Latin Mass, effectively rolling back wider permission granted under
Pope emeritus Benedict XVI, is being met by predictably mixed reaction
from Catholics around the globe, with some praising the move as
prophetic and others calling it a stain on Francis's legacy ...

Synod theologian says laity must make decisions, not just implement them
https://cruxnow.com/interviews/2021/07/synod-theologian-says-laity-must-make-decisions-not-just-implement-them/
Looking ahead to a looming Synod of Bishops on the concept of
"synodality," a lay Venezuelan theologian says the time has come for
bishops to grasp one key point: Lay people aren't just called to
implement decisions in the Church made by others, but to make those
decisions themselves ...
