THE 15TH STATION PODCAST
http://station15.co.nz/
Station XV: Episode 100 — Royalty, Recognition, Reprimands and
Reminiscing (January 16, 2016)
Eight-and-a-half years after it all began, the little podcast that
could reached its 100th episode this month, and it was a full studio
and a full show to mark the occasion. The Queen sends congratulations
to people who turn 100; she didn't send a message, but she does
feature on this episode thanks to her Christmas message. Two other
acclaimed women — the Virgin Mary and Mother Teresa — are also
discussed, as well as a lesser-known, but very important, woman, as Sr
Margaret Lancaster is recognised for her work in the area of
palliative care. Join Shannon, Helen, James, Don, Gabriel and Gavin,
as well as a few celebrity voices, on our 100th episode. And there's
not a hoverboard in sight.

Decoding what it means to say the Vatican has a 'gay lobby'
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2016/01/15/decoding-what-it-means-to-say-the-vatican-has-a-gay-lobby/
Since the Vatican is a global institution, understanding it often
requires at least a passing familiarity with a few foreign languages.
Perhaps the most challenging language is what one might call
"Vaticanese". One recent entry in that lexicon is "gay lobby," which
emerged during the first Vatican leaks scandal under Pope Benedict XVI
in 2012. Here's the confusing thing: When Italians say "gay lobby,"
they don't mean "lobby" in the conventional political sense, and they
often don't really mean "gay" in the sense that sex has much to do
with it ...

http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2016/01/07/whats-on-pope-francis-plate-for-the-first-part-of-2016/
Pope Francis is famously a pontiff who seems to be missing an "off"
switch, but the first quarter of 2016 shapes up as a period so dense
with activity it may tax even his prodigious reservoirs of energy.
From foreign policy challenges to a potential turning point in
Catholic/Jewish relations, from a six-day trip to Mexico that includes
a stop at the US border, to a jam-packed schedule for his jubilee Year
of Mercy, the opening part of the year promises to be full of drama...

Let your Christmas light shine on others: the Christmas message of the
Auckland Christian communities
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11563280
Tomorrow, the Sunday before Christmas, in churches and homes the world
over, people will be lighting the fourth candle in the Advent wreath.
In this centuries-old tradition, over the four Sundays before
Christmas, the lighting of the candles of the Advent (from the Latin
'to come') wreath symbolises the waiting and expectation as we look to
the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
RNZ. Sunday Morning (9:40). Peter Bray - Christmas in Bethlehem
http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/sunday/audio/201783572/peter-bray
New Zealander Brother Peter Bray FSC is the vice-chancellor of
Bethlehem University. The Catholic university was founded in 1973 and
has been closed 12 times since then by Israeli military orders - the
longest of which was for three years. Peter Bray reflects on Christmas
in Bethlehem and how the birth of Jesus is marked in a city under
occupation.

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST
http://station15.co.nz/
Episode 99 – Wall to (almost) wall Pope Francis (December 16, 2015)
It's fair to say Pope Francis is dominating headlines around the
world, so he's doing the same on The 15th Station. Whether it's the
opening of the Jubilee Door – and Year of Mercy – or his calling for
swift action in response to the Paris climate talks, Francis continues
to be a media rock star. And apparently he's also something of a
musical rock star, with a new CD launched featuring the Pontiff.
There's other discussion of music on this month's show, with James,
Don and Gavin wondering if there's such a thing as "objectively good"
Church music. Merry Christmas from The 15th Station family and we'll
speak with you all in January for Episode 100!

Years from now, records will show that the special jubilee Year of
Mercy decreed by Pope Francis began on Dec. 8, 2015, the feast of the
Immaculate Conception. If you ask the pontiff himself, however, he'd
probably tell you it really got underway on Friday. That afternoon,
Francis headed across town to visit a hostel for the homeless run by
Caritas, the main diocesan charity in Rome, in order to open a "holy
door of charity" ...

leaders had met with each other. The current director of the Anglican
Centre in Rome and representative of the Archbishop of Canterbury to

http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/11/28/for-pope-francis-wisdom-comes-from-the-poor/
Historically speaking, Christians always have been obsessed with
debating the proper sources of teaching authority. One of the towering
issues in the Protestant Reformation, for instance, was whether the
Bible alone or also Church authority can claim to provide binding
truth about God's will. Pope Francis, certainly recognizes the
importance of both Scripture and tradition. Yet it's also clear that
at the personal level, he prizes yet another font of wisdom with an
almost equally spiritual fervor. In a word, Francis takes his cues
from the poor...

Euthanasia law change 'dangerous'
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503343&objectid=11549612
Two anti-euthanasia campaigners say a law change to allow assisted
deaths would take New Zealand into irreversible "dangerous territory".
More than a 100 people gathered at the Central Baptist Church
yesterday to hear Dr John Kleinsman, director of NZ Catholic Bishops
Bioethics Nathaniel Centre, and Waipuna Hospice chief executive Dr
Richard Thurlow share their views on the subject.

Anglican appointment reveals continuity between Pope Francis and Benedict
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/11/25/anglican-appointment-reveals-continuity-between-pope-francis-and-benedict/
At the level of style, Pope Francis is obviously a somewhat jarring
contrast with his predecessor, emeritus Pope Benedict XVI. Francis
generally comes off as a warm Latin populist, Benedict more a cool
German intellectual. Leaders, however, promote either continuity or
rupture not primarily at the level of style but rather policy, and on
that front, one can make a case that Francis has a surprising amount
in common with Benedict. A new chapter in this largely untold story of
continuity came on Tuesday ...

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST
http://station15.co.nz/
Episode 98 — Scandals, Surveys, Synods, Saints and Sinners (November 16, 2015)
Pope Francis isn't going to let the Vatican leaks and the associated
scandals slow down his papacy — and he's told some of Italy's Church
leaders as much in a major speech. It's maybe that attitude or just
Francis's demeanour, but his recent trip to the United States has seen
his popularity — and people's comfort with their own faith — improve.
That's happened while bishops and cardinals have been battling over
what the Synod on the Family really said about Communion for the
divorced and remarried. Perhaps we all just need to download a new app
to help us find (or stay on) the path to holiness.

Who's going to replace Francis? Maybe one of these guys
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/11/17/whos-going-to-replace-francis-maybe-one-of-these-guys/
Next month Pope Francis will celebrate his 79th birthday, and by all
accounts he remains remarkably vigorous. There's no reason to believe
his papacy is nearing an end, and every reason to think it's full
steam ahead. On the other hand, Francis has dropped hints that his
might be a relatively brief run, and he's also spoken approvingly
about the example set by Pope Benedict XVI in resigning. Given his
capacity for surprise, it's entirely possible he'll blindside the
world with a decision to step aside just when it's least expected...

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST
http://station15.co.nz/
Episode 98 — Scandals, Surveys, Synods, Saints and Sinners (November 16, 2015)
Pope Francis isn't going to let the Vatican leaks and the associated
scandals slow down his papacy — and he's told some of Italy's Church
leaders as much in a major speech. It's maybe that attitude or just
Francis's demeanour, but his recent trip to the United States has seen
his popularity — and people's comfort with their own faith — improve.
That's happened while bishops and cardinals have been battling over
what the Synod on the Family really said about Communion for the
divorced and remarried. Perhaps we all just need to download a new app
to help us find (or stay on) the path to holiness.

Who's going to replace Francis? Maybe one of these guys
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/11/17/whos-going-to-replace-francis-maybe-one-of-these-guys/
Next month Pope Francis will celebrate his 79th birthday, and by all
accounts he remains remarkably vigorous. There's no reason to believe
his papacy is nearing an end, and every reason to think it's full
steam ahead. On the other hand, Francis has dropped hints that his
might be a relatively brief run, and he's also spoken approvingly
about the example set by Pope Benedict XVI in resigning. Given his
capacity for surprise, it's entirely possible he'll blindside the
world with a decision to step aside just when it's least expected...
