exceeding expectations
https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/olympics/125757250/new-zealands-youngest-tokyo-olympian-erika-fairweather-enjoys-exceeding-expectations
Erika Fairweather's alarm tends to go off at 4.30am, some four hours
before she starts school at Kavanagh College in Dunedin. But as a
swimmer, she has her eyes on an Olympic medal, an end goal which would
make all those early starts – and all the hours in the pool – worth it

Episode 164 — Eucharist and University, Hospital and Hero (July 16, 2021)

The US Bishops and President Joe Biden continue to be pitted against
one another, with an upcoming document on the Eucharist seen as a shot
across Biden's bow. But is it just a teaching document on a key topic?
Anna, Don, James and Gavin discuss that, as well as the ongoing story
of Canadian residential schools and the Catholic Church, hopes for a
Catholic university in New Zealand and Pope Francis' recent surgery.
Maybe we just need a hero. Will Spider-Man do? Thanks for listening to

Pope's clampdown on Latin Mass praised as 'prophetic,' ripped as 'cruel'
https://cruxnow.com/interviews/2021/07/popes-clampdown-on-latin-mass-praised-as-prophetic-ripped-as-cruel/
Pope Francis's decision to restrict celebration of the pre-Vatican II
Latin Mass, effectively rolling back wider permission granted under
Pope emeritus Benedict XVI, is being met by predictably mixed reaction
from Catholics around the globe, with some praising the move as
prophetic and others calling it a stain on Francis's legacy ...

Looking ahead to a looming Synod of Bishops on the concept of
"synodality," a lay Venezuelan theologian says the time has come for
bishops to grasp one key point: Lay people aren't just called to
implement decisions in the Church made by others, but to make those
decisions themselves ...

Ahead of the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, Pope Francis welcomed a
delegation from Ecumenical Patriarchate Bartholomew I of
Constantinople on Monday, urging Orthodox and Catholic faithful to not
"squander" the "dramatic crisis" caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The
"scourge" of the pandemic, the pope said in his remarks, "has tested
everyone and everything. Only one thing is more serious than this
crisis, and that is the risk that we will squander it, and not learn
the lesson it teaches. It is a lesson in humility, showing us that it
is not possible to live healthy lives in an unhealthy world, or to go
on as we were, without recognizing what went wrong" ...

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/125396071/obituary-the-life-of-bryan-watt--29-kids-a-good-laugh-and-a-beer
Bryan Watt loved a beer, rugby and a good time.
It would be unfair, however, to imply that a man who fathered 17
children and fostered another 12, and who spent a lifetime serving the
community, was a larrikin. Known to all as Wattie, he died recently in
the family home holding the hand of Ann, his cherished wife of 62
years. A deep commitment to Catholicism underpinned everything he did,
as did the love for his wife and family.

STATION XV (podcast)

http://station15.co.nz/

Episode 163 — Consultation, Cardinal, Canada, Canon Law (June 20, 2021)

Pope Francis has just announced that there will be a three-year
buildup to the next Synod of Bishops, inviting Catholics around the
world to share their thoughts on Church affairs. Will it be a valuable
process? Or just set people up for disappointment? In Germany, there
was a mix of excitement and disappointment when Cardinal Reinhard Marx
offered his resignation, but Pope Francis didn't accept that offer.
Anna, Don, James and Gavin tackle those topics, as well as the news of
more than 200 bodies being found at a Canadian residential school the
Church helped run and changes announced to canon law. In the light
story for the month, the panel marvels at a Scottish shed that's a
spiritual home for Catholics — in many parts of the world. Enjoy the
show and, if you like it, tell your friends about The 15th Station.

"And the sun stood still" Joshua 10:13

'Galileo: Scientist, Astronomer, Visionary' is an exhibition of the
works of the eminent Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) at
the Canterbury Museum. The exhibition's website declares that
"Galileo's radical theories about Earth's place in the solar system
saw him imprisoned by church authorities"
https://www.canterburymuseum.com/whats-on/galileo-scientist-astronomer-visionary/
and this claim is repeated by other media.

This legend of the imprisonment of Galileo is a fable. For presenting
as proven fact his theory that the earth moves, rather than the sun,
contrary to Scripture (Joshua 10:13), he was sentenced to house arrest
at his home near Florence and banned from publishing and meeting other
scientists. He ignored both bans and received a number of colleagues
at home. He also continued his researches and published groundbreaking
work on two new sciences.

Molly Conway made a vow to her dying mother that she'd become a nun.
It was not all that uncommon in the late 19th century, when The
Calling is set, except her dad is a Methodist and his new wife doesn't
discover until she moves in that her stepdaughter is one of those
hated Catholics. She burns all the 15-year-old's religious treasures,
save for a letter from Mother Mary Joseph Aubert, the French nun who
has set up a mission station on the Whanganui River. That burning is
the catalyst for the devout and hard-working teen to leave her home
and three young brothers and set off on foot for Jerusalem, in search
of the woman she has long dreamed of meeting.
