Fr Michael Dooley: Nearness of death, resurrection (photo)
In 2014 I was fortunate to spend a month in the Holy Land, staying for the most part in Jerusalem. I had many insights from this time but one of the most valuable was to do with biblical geography. Back in New Zealand at Easter, I can't help but think of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem ...

Sacred Heart Basilica 'well cared for' (photo)
The Timaru Herald
In Timaru we have a close relative of the Christchurch [cathedral], from the same architect F W Petre (pronounced Peter).
Legend has it that Petre fell out with the church over this project since he intended an even larger basilica than the one we see today. But surely he has provided enough – a simple glance and one is transported to Romanesque Europe by the sheer confidence of this structure.

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST


Station XV: Episode 102 — Madonna, martyrs, madness and metal (March 16, 2016)

There are many reasons for doom and gloom when considering this month's lineup of topics — none more so than reflecting on the murder of four Missionaries of Charity in Yemen. They are "today's martyrs", Pope Francis said, and it's hard to disagree. In New Zealand, Bishop Patrick Dunn has spoken out against Madonna, who he said engages in highly offensive conduct in her current concert. In the US, causing offense seems to be something of a pastime for presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Pope Francis and leading Catholic academics have been highly critical of the billionaire's rhetoric and policies. Is the criticism fair? Lucy, Don, James and Gavin consider those questions, and also do their best to think about Iron Maiden's greatest hits.

In an ideal world, doing the just thing and doing the wise thing would always coincide. Real life, however, is often not that simple, and the "Vatileaks 2.0" trial currently playing out in Rome may be a classic case where justice and wisdom collide...

If Cardinal Pell survives, will his past trump his present?
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2016/03/04/if-cardinal-pell-survives-will-his-past-trump-his-present/

After a bruising week of testimony by Cardinal George Pell before an
Australian Royal Commission examining his record on child sexual abuse
cases, the 74-year-old prelate may have given Pope Francis enough
reason to justify keeping him around in the Vatican, both because of
the lack of any new "smoking gun" revelation and also by pledging his
support for anti-abuse efforts ...

Obituary: Bishop Barry Jones 'humble and pastoral' (photo)
http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/christchurch-life/77264358/Obituary-Bishop-Barry-Jones-humble-and-pastoral
Pope Francis, on his recent tour of Mexico and the United States, said
priests and bishops must be servants of the people. They should not
regard their calling as a career in which to seek advancement and
notice. Bishop Barry Jones was the servant-priest that Pope Francis
wants all priests to be. He embodied the humility and pastoral caring
implicit in the Pope's statement ...

Catholic church an easy target, but compassion shows true priest, by
Richard Swainson
http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/opinion/77292866/opinion-catholic-church-an-easy-target-but-compassion-shows-true-priest
Late last week I discussed Spotlight with a Catholic priest. The
occasion was a melancholy one. My father-in-law lay breathing his
last in a room at Waikato Hospital. Father Gerard Boyce is not only
the hospital chaplain but my mother-in-law's local priest. Given the
tragic circumstances it was a surprisingly convivial exchange ...

It's believed to have been almost two decades since there has been a
wedding at St Patrick's Catholic Church in the Northern Southland
town, 60km north of Invercargill, and then out of the blue there was
another on the same day - just 30 minutes apart.

In a recent press conference, Francis suggested he's open to the idea
of artificial birth control as a means of trying to combat the spread
of the Zika virus in Latin America, while emphatically taking abortion
off the table. While we wait for the debate that's sure to follow,
it's worth noting that the pope's answer provided a window into how
the Vatican works that shouldn't be overlooked ...

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST

Station XV: Episode 101 — Pope, Patriarch, Penance and Passing Away
(February 17, 2016)

It's a mix of joy and sadness in Episode 101 of The 15th Station. The
sadness comes from the passing of Christchurch Bishop Barry Jones, who
died last week after suffering a number of strokes and a heart attack.
James, Don and Gavin reflect on Bishop Barry's role as pastor and
shepherd, especially in the wake of Christchurch's devastating
earthquakes. You can hear more about Bishop Barry in this video
tribute from friend of the show Brendan Malone. The joy comes from the
meeting of Pope Francis with Patriarch Kirill – the first meeting of
the leaders of the Roman Catholic and Russian Orthodox churches in
almost 1000 years. The filioque clause mentioned in the show is one
reason for the schism that happened all those centuries ago.
Missionaries of Mercy and the standardising of a date for Easter are
among other topics on this month's show. And beware the Ash Rash.
