STATION XV (podcast)


Station XV: Episode 166 — Attack, Assisted Dying, Afghanistan, Activity (September 16, 2021)

The terror attack on an Auckland supermarket leads this month's episode, with the New Zealand bishops condemning the attack, praying for the injured victims and urging the pursuit of peace. Across the Tasman in Australia, faith-based health care workers are worried about the impact that assisted dying laws will have on them, while back in New Zealand, support is being sought for incoming Afghan refugees. In the United States, the bishops are calling for more civility in public discourse. After another heavy show, maybe we need some time to kick back and relax. Foosball, anyone?

Can Francis and 'Super Mario' position Europe between AUKUS and China?
The Vatican so far hasn't commented publicly on the new "Aukus" alliance among the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, and nobody even privately has demonstrated quite the pique of French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who called it a "stab in the back." Nevertheless, it's unlikely Vatican diplomats look with unalloyed favor upon the prospects of a new Cold War between China and the world's Anglo-Saxon powers.

Archbishop calls new Aussie assisted dying laws a 'defeat for life
After lawmakers in Queensland, Australia, voted overwhelmingly in favor of a measure allowing for Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD), one of the country's top bishops condemned the move as a "defeat for life."

NZ CATHOLIC BISHOPS' CONFERENCE

Social Justice Week 2021: Bishops' Statement: A culture of encounter (7 Sep 2021)
Each September the Catholic Bishops of Aotearoa New Zealand set aside  Social Justice Week, inviting us to reflect and take action on a current social justice issue. Social Justice Week 2021 takes place from 12 to 18 September ... 


** East Coast Bays (Auckland) Parish Priest Fr Emile Frische was a Mill Hill missionary serving in New York when the terror attacks happened 20 years ago today. In this interview he reflects on that terrible day and its aftermath ...

** Light a concert candle at home 
Bishop Pat and team have prepared a beautiful, candlelight concert on his Facebook tomorrow night at 7pm. It will be presented by Fr Chris Skinner SM and will be a wonderful opportunity for music and hope-filled, prayerful reflection not just in Auckland where people are  confined in their homes in Level 4 but for everyone everywhere ...

** This video of our Te Ara a Maria artwork has been produced for the Diocese of Dunedin.  The artwork has been looked after by Fr Pat McGettigan at St Mary's Basilica in Invercargill since arriving there the day before Lockdown began last month, postponing the start of the hikoi.

** With today being our celebration of the Birthday of Mary, this article by Fr Neil Vaney SM, pastoral director of the Catholic Enquiry Centre, is a timely read as we wait to learn when our Te Ara a Maria hikoi can begin. 

** This year's theme for Social Justice Week is "A Culture of Encounter: Be the Church." (Links to resources)

** Following Church inquiries last week about whether funerals could be held in a church under Alert Level 3 as long as numbers present were limited to 10,  the Ministry of Health has updated its website ...

9/11 anniversary a reminder the Vatican had it right, not once but twice
During the brief period after 9/11 but before the Afghan war opened, Pope John Paul II was one of the very few global leaders who made a trip to the region. The Polish pope was scheduled to travel to nearby Kazakhstan Sept. 22-25, and despite security fears after the Twin Towers attacks, the trip went ahead as planned. It afforded John Paul a chance to weigh in on the fateful choices facing the world at that moment ...
