Francis, Feminism and Francisco
Pope Francis is front and centre again in this month's episode of The

after him, which is pretty impressive. In other news, the NZ bishops
are concerned about attempts to change euthanasia and assisted dying
conventions, lay Catholics are trying to oust an American Archbishop
and an Auckland Catholic man is none too pleased with a large statue
of a Hindu deity at a house across the street. Join James, Don and

Cardinal Tagle will be a force in Catholicism for a long time
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/05/15/cardinal-tagle-force-catholic-charities/
The Irish betting firm Paddy Power has Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of
the Philippines as the favorite to be the next pope, giving him 11/2
odds. Already dubbed the "Asian Francis," Tagle got another boost this

charities. Between today and whenever a conclave might occur, any
number of things can happen to change the landscape. That dose of

Francis, Feminism and Francisco
Pope Francis is front and centre again in this month's episode of The

after him, which is pretty impressive. In other news, the NZ bishops
are concerned about attempts to change euthanasia and assisted dying
conventions, lay Catholics are trying to oust an American Archbishop
and an Auckland Catholic man is none too pleased with a large statue
of a Hindu deity at a house across the street. Join James, Don and

The Irish betting firm Paddy Power has Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of
the Philippines as the favorite to be the next pope, giving him 11/2
odds. Already dubbed the "Asian Francis," Tagle got another boost this
week with his election to lead a global federation of Catholic
charities. Between today and whenever a conclave might occur, any
number of things can happen to change the landscape. That dose of
caution, however, rarely stops "next pope" rumors from being the

Sister Noelene Makes a Habit of Sustainable Development
Radio NZ. Country Life (text and audio)

Sister Noelene lives at Mount St Joseph in Whanganui and says if the
world wants to survive it has to have a different view of God. "He's
in the earth, other people, other religions, all life ... our only
hope for the future of planet earth is .... a spirituality that
accepts everyone and everything and looks after it with the dignity it

new eyes and saw potential ...

STATION XV
http://station15.co.nz
Episode 91
April 16, 2015
The Station 15 crew is basking in the post-Easter glow, but the Pope's
Easter message and its plea for peace around the world highlights the
great challenges that are being faced by many, including Christians in
various parts of the globe. Despite those challenges, the Church
continues to grow, but some experts are predicting quite a change in
the religious adherence of people over the next several decades. Maybe
that will help us better understand people of other religions or none,
but it's too late for a New Zealander who's been jailed in Myanmar for
causing religious offence. Meanwhile, some people hope it's not too
late to have another attempt at an English translation of the Mass.
All this and more with Helen, Gabriel, James, Don and Gavin in a busy
episode of The 15th Station.

STATION XV
http://station15.co.nz
Episode 91
April 16, 2015
The Station 15 crew is basking in the post-Easter glow, but the Pope's
Easter message and its plea for peace around the world highlights the
great challenges that are being faced by many, including Christians in
various parts of the globe. Despite those challenges, the Church
continues to grow, but some experts are predicting quite a change in
the religious adherence of people over the next several decades. Maybe
that will help us better understand people of other religions or none,
but it's too late for a New Zealander who's been jailed in Myanmar for
causing religious offence. Meanwhile, some people hope it's not too
late to have another attempt at an English translation of the Mass.
All this and more with Helen, Gabriel, James, Don and Gavin in a busy
episode of The 15th Station.
