Episode 77 -- Il Papa was on Rolling Stone (February 16, 2014)
Pope Francis continues to be a media darling, with Rolling Stone
magazine the latest publication to run a glowing piece on the Pontiff
as he approaches the one-year anniversary of his election. But, as
this article from The Week explains, there were quite a few errors and
exaggerations in the article. Pope Francis has also been in the news
with his appointment of his first group of new cardinals, and he's
also talked of the Internet -- our medium of communicating with the
world -- is a "gift from God". We find it hard to disagree with him.
James, Shannon, Don and Gavin also talk about the death of a New
Zealand bishop and a survey of Catholics in Germany and Switzerland.
Enjoy the show.

Cardinals try to manage expectations on divorce

Rome - Pope Francis' maverick approach has aroused expectations of
sweeping change in Catholicism, and nowhere is that ferment more
palpable right now than on the question of whether believers who
divorce and remarry without obtaining a church annulment should be
allowed to receive communion and the other Catholic sacraments.

The Memorial Park project in Buckle St is good news for a dilapidated
Wellington heritage building. The former Home of Compassion Creche is
empty, boarded up and full of history. The building will get a new
lease of life and a new location in the park, complete with a picket
fence and garden reminiscent of the original.

http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/235430/church-'in-denial'-over-sex-abuse
An organisation representing male survivors of sexual abuse including
some abused by priests, says the Catholic Church in New Zealand, like
other countries, is still in denial. The Catholic Church in New
Zealand says all complaints of abuse are given to police and a code of
silence has not been evident in the country for at least 20 years.

Actively helping others is a focus of the St Mary's Youth Group in

Certificate in Catholic Youth Ministry.

Women; the old guard; pope v. pope; graffiti; and All Things Catholic
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/women-old-guard-pope-v-pope-graffiti-and-all-things-catholic
Given the through-the-looking-glass dynamic of the media today,
everything Pope Francis says or does is defined as news, however hard
it may be to pin down what it means and however often he may have said
or done precisely the same thing before. Thus a short talk Francis
gave to an Italian women's center on Saturday made headlines, in this
case because of what he said about women in the church...

Opinion: Falling under the spell of the guy in the silly hat, by Johnny Moore

My old man has been on at me this week. "Go on, write that column we
talked about. The one about how inspiring the pope is."

It looked as if Parachute's dumping major American bands in favour of
New Zealand artists didn't pay off this year. Numbers were noticeably
down, with plenty of room in the usually overcrowded seating during

Luke is back but Mary is still missing. A statue of St Luke stolen
from St John Catholic Church [Orewa] a fortnight ago has been
returned. It's also a year since a statue of Mary Magdalene was stolen
from the same church.

Actively helping others is a focus of the St Mary's Youth Group in
Blenheim. Its co-ordinator, Mieke Hilhorst, is better known for her
work as a portrait artist but last year she kept her easel folded away
to concentrate on youth work and her theological studies towards a
Certificate in Catholic Youth Ministry.

Given the through-the-looking-glass dynamic of the media today,
everything Pope Francis says or does is defined as news, however hard
it may be to pin down what it means and however often he may have said
or done precisely the same thing before. Thus a short talk Francis
gave to an Italian women's center on Saturday made headlines, in this
case because of what he said about women in the church...

art in a new direction, which had previously been indebted to British
art. Forty years later, Smither is still at the forefront of the

A former Catholic brother facing more than 250 sex charges will have
his case heard by the Justice Minister to decide whether he will be
extradited to Australia. The Australian government is seeking to
extradite Bernard Kevin McGrath, 66, to face 252 child sex charges.
Judge Jane Farish said in the Christchurch District Court today that
the matter was to be referred to Judith Collins due to "compelling and
extraordinary circumstances". There are a number of suppression
orders, including image suppression, surrounding reporting of the case

against a schoolboy bowling attack last weekend. Findlay, who smashed
27 sixes in his innings for his Complete Flooring Napier Technical Old

feat as outraged parents, players and fans questioned his motive in
the division one match against the St John's College First XI team at

http://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news/9596446/Young-brains-buzz-at-science-camp
Some of Nelson's youngest inquiring minds and science enthusiasts are
spending this week in the science lab, but the teachers are not who
you would expect. Run by a group called Ministry of Inspiration,
talented Garin and Waimea College students have been teaching kids
from all over the region in a week-long science or computer camp.

Taranaki's Scott Murfitt is sprinting to the top of his sport - surf
lifesaving. He's one of the fastest beach sprinters in New Zealand and
he has his sights set high. Murfitt - who was head boy in his final
year at New Plymouth's Francis Douglas Memorial College in 2013 - has
been running on sand all his life.

Station XV: Episode 76 — Holy Land, Catholic School, Religious House
(January 16, 2014)
We burst into the new year with the great news that Pope Francis, who
was apparently a real drawcard in his first 10 months as leader of the
world's Catholics, will make a trip to the Holy Land and Jordan this
year in the latest peace mission from a Pope. James, Lucy, Don and
Gavin also talk about Catholic education — who it's for and who it
should be for — as well as the 6.6 million people who attended papal
events since Pope Francis's election, the expulsion of a priest from
the Jesuits and the latest round of secularist antagonism, this time
against the Ten Commandments. All in a busy episode of The 15th
Station.

Critically acclaimed and publicly lauded, Michael Smither is one of a
group of local artists that emerged in the 1960s to take New Zealand
art in a new direction, which had previously been indebted to British
art. Forty years later, Smither is still at the forefront of the

Former Catholic brother's extradition case to go to Minister (full text)

A former Catholic brother facing more than 250 sex charges will have
his case heard by the Justice Minister to decide whether he will be
extradited to Australia. The Australian government is seeking to
extradite Bernard Kevin McGrath, 66, to face 252 child sex charges.
Judge Jane Farish said in the Christchurch District Court today that
the matter was to be referred to Judith Collins due to "compelling and
extraordinary circumstances". There are a number of suppression
orders, including image suppression, surrounding reporting of the case
and hearing.

The CEO of Hawke's Bay Cricket Association, Craig Findlay, has come
under attack after scoring a blistering 307 retired from 115 balls
against a schoolboy bowling attack last weekend. Findlay, who smashed
27 sixes in his innings for his Complete Flooring Napier Technical Old

feat as outraged parents, players and fans questioned his motive in
the division one match against the St John's College First XI team at

When Time magazine recently named Pope Francis Person of the Year
2013, the general reaction around the world was one of approval.
Known as the people's pope, Francis has captured the imaginations of
millions, and not just in the Catholic world. He raised hopes like
only a few leaders before; Nelson Mandela comes to mind, or perhaps
Barack Obama. So, how important are ''world leaders'' and what
distinguishes Pope Francis from other leaders such as Adolf Hitler,
the Time magazine Person of the Year 1938?

The clergy trade; Melady; pope-watch; and The Boston Globe
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/clergy-trade-melady-pope-watch-and-boston-globe
Pope Francis recently issued a blunt warning about what he called a
"novice trade" within religious orders these days, quoting a line from
the Filipino bishops and deliberately using an Italian term that
evokes memories of the slave trade. Such situations, however, are only
a small piece of a much bigger picture, which is a growing migration
of priests and religious in the Catholic church from the "global
south" to the north, despite the fact that the overall Catholic
population is shifting in precisely the opposite direction. To discuss
the promise and peril of this broader "trade" in clergy, I turned to
Philip Jenkins of Baylor University, one of the English-speaking
world's leading experts on global Christianity...

Girls from poorer suburbs may be shut out of a top Catholic girls'
school in one of Auckland's richest suburbs when an enrolment zone is
introduced this year. Baradene College of the Sacred Heart, in
Remuera's Victoria Ave, is in the final stages of seeking approval
from the Ministry of Education to increase its roll progressively over
the next few years.

A lack of work for graduates means former Otago University Students'
Association president Francisco Hernandez is heading to Wellington. Mr
Hernandez is leaving Dunedin after being involved in student politics
in the city for almost five years, which included spending last year
as president of OUSA.

New Zealand's national anthem has been officially protected by the
United Nations, a gesture the writer's North Shore ancestors
appreciate. Brothers Clive and David Bracken from Hillcrest and
Forrest Hill have always taken pride in their great-grandfather, poet
Thomas Bracken.

When Time magazine recently named Pope Francis Person of the Year
2013, the general reaction around the world was one of approval.
Known as the people's pope, Francis has captured the imaginations of
millions, and not just in the Catholic world. He raised hopes like
only a few leaders before; Nelson Mandela comes to mind, or perhaps
Barack Obama. So, how important are ''world leaders'' and what
distinguishes Pope Francis from other leaders such as Adolf Hitler,
the Time magazine Person of the Year 1938?

The clergy trade; Melady; pope-watch; and The Boston Globe
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/clergy-trade-melady-pope-watch-and-boston-globe
Pope Francis recently issued a blunt warning about what he called a
"novice trade" within religious orders these days, quoting a line from
the Filipino bishops and deliberately using an Italian term that
evokes memories of the slave trade. Such situations, however, are only
a small piece of a much bigger picture, which is a growing migration
of priests and religious in the Catholic church from the "global
south" to the north, despite the fact that the overall Catholic
population is shifting in precisely the opposite direction. To discuss
the promise and peril of this broader "trade" in clergy, I turned to
Philip Jenkins of Baylor University, one of the English-speaking
world's leading experts on global Christianity...
