Station XV: Episode 73 — Interviews, intervention and interlocution
(October 15, 2013)

It was one of the most newsworthy moments of Pope Francis's
pontificate — the interview heard around the world. When the Holy
Father sat down with fellow Jesuit priest Fr Antonio Spadaro, the two
discussed a wide range of topics, and much of what was spoken about
became water-cooler conversation around the world. James, Don and
Gavin chat about that interview, Pope Francis's intervention to save
lives in Argentina a couple of decades ago and Pope Benedict's
decision to write a letter to a journalist who had questioned the
former Pope's efforts to combat abuse. Those stories and more in this
month's episode of The 15th Station.

Germany; Lefebvrists; papal cold calls; Legionaries; and Lampedusa
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/germany-lefebvrists-papal-cold-calls-legionaries-and-lampedusa

Over the centuries, the first tremors of earthquakes in Catholicism
often have been felt in Germany. That nation gave birth to the
Protestant Reformation, and it was also where the theological energies
that erupted in the Second Vatican Council began to swirl.
Given that history, it's worth casting an eye on Germany these days
to track the fallout of the "Francis effect." Two recent storylines
are intriguing in that regard...

Radio New Zealand. Saturday Morning, with Kim Hill
Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga - Vatican reform
http://podcast.radionz.co.nz/sat/sat-20131012-0810-cardinal_oscar_rodriguez_maradiaga_-_vatican_reform-048.mp3
An interview with Cardinal Maradiaga, the president of Caritas
Internationalis and the chairman of the group of cardinals appointed
by Pope Francis to advise him on the reform of the Roman Curia, the
central government of the Catholic Church. The cardinal is in New
Zealand to consult our bishops on the project. Here's a taster of Kim
Hill's style:

Kim: Why did you choose the Church?
Cardinal: To choose the Church is a call from Jesus Christ.
Kim: How did he get in touch with you?


Opinion: Pope Francis is revolutionising Church
http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/opinion/comment/9255100/Pope-Francis-is-revolutionising-Church
The Pope is not everyone's idea of someone we should pay heed to and
in general terms, the secular or irreligious world sees him as merely
a figurehead for something it neither understands nor cares to
understand. However, Pope Francis is changing that and in papal terms,
at a staggering pace...

Legalising euthanasia or assisted suicide would be bad for New Zealand
(26 Sep 2013)

While the decision by Labour MP Maryan Street to withdraw her
Euthanasia Bill from the Members Ballot today is welcomed, we
understand that it arises from purely political motives – a wish to
avoid a controversial debate in an election year – rather than out of
concern for the dangerous social consequences of such a Bill ...

Editorial: Serious about change?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/southland-times/opinion/9196414/Might-just-be-serious-about-change
It's 120 years since women won the right to vote in New Zealand. For
institutions like the Anglican and Catholic churches, however, events
barely more than a century old can seem perilously fashionable as they
consider women's place among the clergy.

Editorial: Pope shaping up a true holy man
http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/comment/editorials/9199586/Editorial-Pope-shaping-up-a-true-holy-man
The big tests are still to come, but six months after cardinals chose
76-year-old Argentinian cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to succeed Pope
Benedict XVI as the head of the Catholic Church, it looks as if they
made an inspired choice.

Diplomats; atheists; Newark, N.J.; and the war on Christians
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/diplomats-atheists-newark-nj-and-war-christians

A pope plays many roles, one being the premier ambassador for
Catholicism (and religion generally) on the global stage. In a sense,
it requires the art of diplomacy: reaching across divides, finding
ways to communicate with people who don't speak your language, and
emphasizing common ground rather than drawing lines in the sand.
Francis has shown himself to be awfully good at that part of the job,
which may help explain why he seems increasingly inclined to turn to
churchmen with a strong diplomatic background to fill his
administration's key slots...

A pope for the Catholic middle; countdown to the G-8
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/pope-catholic-middle-countdown-g-8

Having spent the early part of this week in Australia and New Zealand,
I'm arriving today in Rome, where the buzz is about Pope Francis'
blockbuster interview with 16 Jesuit publications around the world ...
Standing back from the details, what seems clear -- not just from the
interview, but from the balance of the pope's first six months -- is
that the election of Francis in March did not just signify the rise of
the first pope from the developing world or a rejection of patterns of
business management in the Vatican held responsible for the leaks
scandal and other meltdowns. Perhaps most fundamentally, it
represented a breakthrough victory for the Catholic middle ...

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
religious organization, a political heavyweight, an intellectual
giant, and a media rock star, not to mention a living saint. Yet at
his six-month mark Pope Francis is drawing better reviews on those
five scores than anyone might reasonably have anticipated back on
March 13 ...

this years NZ International Film Festival. Gardening with Soul, about

Editorial: Centennial Dan Davin
http://www.stuff.co.nz/southland-times/opinion/9117305/Editorial-Centennial-Dan-Davin
It was surely fitting that the centennial birthday celebrations of
Invercargill's great expatriate writer Dan Davin coincided with
Father's Day. The Irish Catholic lad raised in this mostly Protestant
town in the 1920s was simultaneously empowered and provoked by a
Marist Brothers' education, then left as quickly as he could and found
adventure and fame...

Vatican's full-court press on Syria a remembrance of things past
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/vaticans-full-court-press-syria-remembrance-things-past

For anyone who recalls the buildup to the U.S.-led war in Iraq 10
years ago, the Vatican's reaction in recent days to the prospect of a
Western military campaign in Syria can't help but feel like a
remembrance of things past...
