A Timaru priest is not shocked by the possibility of the Vatican
changing its stance on celibacy but said he would not marry as he was
happy being chaste. Holy Family Parish priest Father Brian Fennessy

Francis at the six-month mark seems a force of nature
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/francis-six-month-mark-seems-force-nature

As it's come to be understood in the 21st century, the papacy is
really an impossible job. A pope is expected to be the CEO of a global

his six-month mark Pope Francis is drawing better reviews on those
five scores than anyone might reasonably have anticipated back on
March 13 ...

In praise of Italy; a painful anniversary in India

So far this year, beating up on Italy has become something of a
fashion statement. Election of a Latin American outsider to the papacy
has been hailed as a long-overdue break with the Vatican's Italian old
guard, while right now political commentators around the world are
aghast that former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi still has a
following despite his conviction for tax fraud.
This week, however, I come to praise Italy, not to bury it...

Any Western journalist who's spent time in Africa knows the usual
reaction when a local bumps into one of us: "Why don't you report any
good news about Africa? Can't you find something to talk about beyond
Africans starving or killing each other?"
There's also a Catholic version of the complaint: "Can't you do any
story about the church in Africa other than condoms and AIDS?" ...

Changes in administrations always trigger a game of musical chairs,
and it's well underway in the Vatican right now. Cardinal Tarcisio
Bertone, Benedict XVI's Secretary of State, is on his way out, while
Archbishop Georg Gänswein, though still running the papal household,
is no longer the pope's go-to guy. One figure navigating the
transition to Francis quite nicely, however, is a key American insider
under Benedict too: Msgr. Peter Wells, who holds the critical job of
assessor in the Secretariat of State...

Mass Catholic mass in Palmerston North (full text)
http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/news/8999580/Mass-Catholic-mass-in-Palmerston-North
More than 2000 Catholics from Manawatu and Tararua area are expected
to congregate for a "Year of Faith" mass at Arena Manawatu in
Palmerston North tomorrow. Former Pope Benedict asked Catholics around
the world to mark 2013 as a year to celebrate and re-energise their
faith. Bishop Charles Drennan, who leads the Catholic Community in
Taranaki, Whanganui, Manawatu and Hawkes Bay, has invited people from
nine churches to assemble for hymns from 10am, with the Mass beginning
at 10.30am.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/christchurch-earthquake-2011/8978518/Expert-hails-Catholic-cathedral

St Gerard's Monastery, standing proud above Oriental Parade, is
unquestionably one of Wellington's landmark buildings. It is also a
liability that could fall over in a significant earthquake, and will
cost millions of dollars to be brought up to an acceptably safe
standard.

The one word to describe Pope Francis' papacy to date

In most respects, Alitalia flight 4001 from Rio de Janeiro to Rome on
Sunday night was nothing to write home about. The seats in economy
class were fairly uncomfortable, and the main course was a lukewarm
square of lasagna roughly the size of a Ritz cracker.
I'll say this for it, however: The in-flight entertainment was spectacular...
