Wellington, New Zealand â€" If Clare Omvig has her way, St. Raphael is about

his role in wedding the Bible’s Tobiah with hard-luck Sarah (seven of her
previous bridegrooms had died). Omvig is counting on similar intercession
today, tabbing the “Angel of Love� as patron of her new Internet dating
site, New Zealand Catholic Matchmaker. Helping Tobiah and Sarah, though,
might have been an easier task than connecting today’s Catholic singles

Analysis and commentary by John R. Allen
http://ncrcafe.org/node/507
Why is Fr. Peter Phan under investigation?
Over a decade ago, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger laid out with crystal
clarity what he saw as the greatest doctrinal threat of the day: a
confluence of what he described as "the a-religious and practical relativism
of Europe and America" with "Asia's negative theology," producing a profound
mutation in core Christian teachings -- with Christ seen as simply another
spiritual sage comparable to Buddha or Muhammad, and Christianity as one
valid religious path among many others...

ALL THINGS CATHOLIC
Analysis and commentary by John R. Allen
http://ncrcafe.org/node/507
The deathbed friendship between a bishop and an atheist
Conventional wisdom has it, "There are no atheists in foxholes." In truth,
atheists can be found even in foxholes, but often they're atheists whose
deepest yearning is to be wrong. In just that spirit, among people who
believe that Western civilization today is locked in mortal combat with
radical Islam, there's a growing contingent of what we might call "Christian
atheists," meaning non-believers nonetheless committed to a strong defense
of Christian culture. In this quirky galaxy, no star burned brighter than
that of the provocative Italian writer Oriana Fallaci until her death in
September 2006...
Other commentary by John Allen:
In the 21st century, Catholic ecumenism is learning to push back ...
Brazilian bishops protest changes to CELAM text on base communities ... A
secular Muslim hawk who has the Church's ear on Islam ... An Evangelical
case for hope about Muslim immigration in Europe

The Catholic-Shi'a connection; Another Latin Mass note
While pundits fill the airwaves debating whether the American military surge
in Iraq is working, another surge continues to unfold in Iraq and across the
Islamic world, one potentially of far greater import for the 21st century:
the emergence of Shi'a Islam as an emboldened force, from Lebanon on the
Mediterranean coast all the way to Central Asia and the Indian
subcontinent...

Friday, 17 August 2007, 4:25 pm
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0708/S00226.htm
This afternoon NZ First Immigration spokesperson Peter Brown attempted via a
press release to set the record straight on Iranian deportees. Scoop Media

issue of what to do about those Iranian Christians held in NZ jails who
refuse to sign the official paperwork that would send them back to Iran, a
theocratic Muslim state...
Faiths to debate religious studies

Christians to make the effort to attend next weekend’s New Zealand Religious
Diversity Forum, at which religious studies in secondary schools will be
discussed...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/4163524a7694.html
More than 40 South Island schools have been told by the Education Ministry

A radio station will tomorrow launch a controversial twist on its Stranger
Wedding competition - in which a bride will be presented with two potential
husbands at the altar. She won't know either of them and must make a
decision as to who to marry. The Edge station's new Three Strangers and a
Wedding competition has churches fuming - with one already turning down a
request to host the ceremony...

The Catholic-Shi'a connection; Another Latin Mass note
While pundits fill the airwaves debating whether the American military surge
in Iraq is working, another surge continues to unfold in Iraq and across the
Islamic world, one potentially of far greater import for the 21st century:

Mediterranean coast all the way to Central Asia and the Indian
subcontinent...

The uphill journey of Catholicism in China
If there were any lingering question about whether there's a spiritual boom
in China today, it now has a two word answer: Yu Dan. A 42-year-old female
talk show host and pop culture icon, Yu Dan is the author of Notes on
Reading the Analects -- a sort of Confucian Chicken Soup for the Soul --
which has sold somewhere between 3 and 4 million copies, making it one of
the biggest best-sellers in China since Mao's "Little Red Book." Dan's
success illustrates that China has become, according to writer Zha Jianying,
the "largest soul market" in the world. With a population of 1.3 billion,
China is trying to fill an ideological void left by the collapse of
Communism as anything more than a system of political control, and the
dislocations of astonishing but uneven levels of economic growth...
