It is perhaps part of the intrigue surrounding Castle Claremont that it was built in a neo-Gothic style reflecting the Anglo-Catholic reawakening of belief, then later became a Marist Brothers' training centre on its journey back to becoming a private residence.

ALL THINGS CATHOLIC - John L. Allen Jr


The church's natural habitat is the center, not the right
Understandably enough, most Americans probably see the Catholic church as politically conservative. Dynamics in Italy at the moment, however, illustrate that the default setting of the Catholic church actually is the center, whenever that's a live option. For those who aren't paying close attention to political theater in il bel paese, here's a brief recap...

Hohepa's pain finally subsides (photo)
There was soft singing and light rain amid the surrounding green hills as descendants of Whanganui River man Hohepa Te Umuroa unveiled his gravestone yesterday. It was an historic ceremony, because Te Umuroa died of tuberculosis in an Australian prison in 1847 and his remains were not returned to his own country until 1988. The unveiling rituals at Roma Urupa (Cemetery) near Hiruharama/Jerusalem included Catholic prayers and poipoi, a recitation of genealogy set to the rhythm of poi.

The panel kicks off the new year with a debate on the ongoing process of the expected canonisation of Blessed John Paul II. Is it happening too fast? How do we judge that? And what's the purpose of sainthood? The billboard deemed not to have caused "widespread offence" is also discussed, along with the new reproductive health bill in the Philippines, passed against the Catholic bishops' wishes. The Catholic ethos of Les Miserables and a wacky petition to have the Catholic Church designated a hate group round off the first show of 2013.

Easter treats on shelves 'wrong'
Just days into the new year and Easter goodies are on the shelves - even though Christmas mince pies are still on their way out. For some, the Easter sales push is coming far too early and the "commercial gimmickry" is skewing the occasion.

Kiwi churches celebrate Christmas (video report)

Attendance at services 'fantastic'
The stifling heat didn't dash Christmas spirit in New Plymouth yesterday, with church leaders reporting hundreds turning up to celebrate - even a live donkey.

Hunterville's 'mayoress' a top volunteer
The woman nicknamed the "mayoress of Hunterville" has been awarded a Queen's Service Medal for her services to the town. Maureen Fenton, who has lived in Hunterville for more than 35 years, represented the town on the Rangitikei District Council from 1992 to 2001.

New Year's Honours: Miyoko Hammersley (photo)
After 15 years volunteering as a Catholic chaplain at the Rotorua Hospital, Miyoko Hammersley has been awarded a Queen's Service Medal.

Welcome mat at South's Vatican (photo)

You would be surprised to find Vatican City in Dunedin. But there it is, a Catholic precinct standing proudly on the hill above The Octagon, in the Presbyterian Capital of New Zealand.

Priest helps talk man down (photo)
Stunned onlookers gasped in horror as a man threatened to jump off Auckland's Sky Tower yesterday. But there were smiles and applause when he gave himself up to police after a near five-hour ordeal.

Priest vigorously defended religious ideals with letter writing (photo)
The Dominion Post
GH Duggan, SM, was a name that regularly appeared under numerous letters to the editor in columns defending the traditional position of the Catholic Church. The pages of the Listener and the Dominion in New Zealand were Father ''Chalky'' Duggan's preferred outlets in his numerous forays into letter-writing polemics over a 70-year period.

Gifted longtime racing editor (photo)
The Press
Jack Boyle, who died in Christchurch recently aged 88, was the racing editor of The Press for a record 40 years and earlier a talented sportsman in Southland, representing that province at both rugby and cricket. Two sons Justin, currently Rector of St Bede's College, and David, a successful businessman in Shanghai, were provincial cricket representatives for Wellington and Canterbury respectively while the third, Andrew, the general manager at The Press, also distinguished himself at the summer game – a reflection of their father's particular sporting passion.

Boy's family thankful
The father of a Nelson toddler who died after getting tangled in a blind cord before Christmas says the family have been overwhelmed by the support they have received. The funeral service for 14-month-old MacAuley Frederick Hicks, known as Mac, was held at St Mary's Catholic Church on Monday.

Accountant carried out Johnsonville community campaigns (photo)
The Dominion Post
Egan Ogier enjoyed the unofficial title of the Mayor of Johnsonville before moving to the Bay of Plenty to become a kiwifruit grower. The only child of Alby and Kay Ogier, he grew up in Whanganui and moved to Johnsonville with his wife, Sylvia, in 1951.
