Unpacking FedEx's Vatican query: 'What country is it in?'
It's hard for a lot of people, especially Westerners accustomed to church/state separation, to understand why something perceived as a religious entity is also a state. For many who do know, the Vatican's sovereignty often strikes them as a quaint anachronism. If they're less charitably inclined, they see it as a malicious legal fiction ...

NZ CATHOLIC BISHOPS' CONFERENCE


Catholic Bishops express concern at proposed abortion legislation changes (22 May 2018)

A joint submission by the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference (NZCBC) to the Law Commission last Friday argues that the State has an essential responsibility to protect and care for all human life, born and unborn, which it would abdicate by making abortion solely a matter between a woman and her doctor ...

Catholic Bishops lobby Law Commission over proposed abortion law change
The state would fail its responsibility to care for all human life if it were to make abortion solely a matter between woman and doctor, according to the New Zealand Catholic Bishop's Conference (NZCBC). The group expressed its concerns in a submission to the Law Commission about Justice Minister Andrew Little's proposal to make abortion a health issue rather than a criminal one - a move abortion law-change advocates called "not all that surprising", as they questioned the NZCBC's points raised.

STATION XV


Episode 127 — Crosiers, Cardinal, Criticism and Climate (May 16, 2018)

There's more cause for celebration in New Zealand, with a second bishop ordained in quick succession. Bishop Michael Dooley is a local boy who has swapped his farmer's crook for a bishop's crosier. Across the Tasman in Australia, Cardinal George Pell has been ordered to stand trial on historical sexual offences, making him the highest-ranking cleric to be charged. The Cardinal entered his "not guilty" plea in a clear and firm voice. In the Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte has chosen to unleash his power on an Australian religious sister, who has been speaking up on behalf of the poor and the marginalised. Meanwhile, the bishops of Oceania — Australia, New Zealand and many Pacific island nations — have also called for protection for those who are in danger, including from climate change. All in a month's work for the panel of Anna, James and Gavin on The 15th Station.

https://cruxnow.com/global-church/2018/05/19/fiery-us-bishop-brings-american-flare-to-royal-wedding/
Nothing captured the trans-Atlantic nature of Saturday's royal wedding as much as the guest preacher whose sermon brought American fire and flare to a very English church service. The Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry's passionate sermon on the theme of love, studded with quotes from the bible, Martin Luther King Jr and African-American spirituals, not to mention a Catholic tip of the cap to the late French Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin, was a contrast to the more solemn and muted Anglican style the royal family is used to.

Farm boy becomes shepherd of a different flock (text video)

Last night, there was not a Swanndri or a pair of gumboots in sight, but Bishop Michael Dooley once more watched over his Father's flock.

Love, pray, live the Carmelite way (photos)
At the crossroads of two of Christchurch's busiest roads, Halswell and Curletts roads, lies a desert of calm. It is tricky to straddle Halswell Rd to turn into the Carmelite Monastery, but this doesn't bother the residents at all.

The Sisters of St Joseph are an Australasian order founded by Mother Mary MacKillop and Father Julian Tenison Woods in 1873. The Sisters arrived in the town of Whanganui in 1880. They immediately set up a school for girls in Victoria Avenue which they named Sacred Heart Convent.
