https://www.newsroom.co.nz/book-of-the-week-among-the-palagis
"Come to New Zealand. Here, you will find work, make good money. Send money back home, help your mother's family."

Theologian: Laity has grown numb in Church, must know voice is important
https://cruxnow.com/church-in-europe/2022/05/theologian-laity-has-grown-numb-in-church-must-know-voice-is-important

The synodal process began last October and will continue until Oct. 2023, when a summit of bishops will be held in Rome. Spanish theologian Cristina Inoges Sanz said that for many lay members of the church, "this is the first time that they are aware that their voice is important."
