If the image of a country parish priest is of an ageing, demure man
rather set in his ways, then Akaraoa's Parish priest Father Paul
Shannahan breaks the mould. He recently turned 79 but is neither
demure nor hidebound. Roadman, pilot, chef, rose fancier, swimmer,
genealogist, world traveller - his CV is impressive...

If the image of a country parish priest is of an ageing, demure man
rather set in his ways, then Akaraoa's Parish priest Father Paul
Shannahan breaks the mould. He recently turned 79 but is neither
demure nor hidebound. Roadman, pilot, chef, rose fancier, swimmer,
genealogist, world traveller - his CV is impressive...

A 40-day anti-abortion prayer vigil protest outside Wellington
Hospital has resulted in staff steering vulnerable female patients to
alternative hospital entries. Catholic organisation Family Life
International's vigil, part of a 40 Days for Life campaign, is due to

A century-old convent's transformation into a gracious family home got
a tick from perhaps the hardest people to please - the nuns who used
to live there. The former Brigidine Sisters convent, built in Pahiatua
in 1912, was bought and trucked to Greytown in December by retired
academic John Bushnell to be turned into a four-bedroom home for him
and his wife.

http://goo.gl/4N5p71
Pope Francis captured the imagination of the world within hours after
his election a year ago through his flashes of humility, and that's
not just a PR facade. In Argentina, he was known as a "bishop of the
villas," referring to the vast slums that ring Buenos Aires, because
he had a special love for the poor. Yet one should never forget that
beneath that simple exterior lies the mind of a brilliant Jesuit
politician. That savvy was on display again Saturday, when Francis
rolled out the initial members for a new Vatican commission to lead
the charge in the fight against clerical sexual abuse...

A 40-day anti-abortion prayer vigil protest outside Wellington
Hospital has resulted in staff steering vulnerable female patients to
alternative hospital entries. Catholic organisation Family Life
International's vigil, part of a 40 Days for Life campaign, is due to
continue from 8am until 8pm each day until April 13, in the lead-up to
Easter in honour of Lent.

A century-old convent's transformation into a gracious family home got
a tick from perhaps the hardest people to please - the nuns who used
to live there. The former Brigidine Sisters convent, built in Pahiatua
in 1912, was bought and trucked to Greytown in December by retired
academic John Bushnell to be turned into a four-bedroom home for him
and his wife.

suffering. "It's probable, living in some of those big wealthy homes,
is a lot of need," she told her driver, Allan Devlin.

http://goo.gl/4N5p71
Pope Francis captured the imagination of the world within hours after
his election a year ago through his flashes of humility, and that's
not just a PR facade. In Argentina, he was known as a "bishop of the
villas," referring to the vast slums that ring Buenos Aires, because
he had a special love for the poor. Yet one should never forget that
beneath that simple exterior lies the mind of a brilliant Jesuit
politician. That savvy was on display again Saturday, when Francis
rolled out the initial members for a new Vatican commission to lead
the charge in the fight against clerical sexual abuse...

election of Pope Francis. The interview the Holy Father conducted
recently is a topic for discussion, along with the latest statistics
on Catholics in New Zealand -- nominal and practising -- and the
promotion of Cardinal George Pell to head the Vatican's new economic
secretariat. James, Helen and Gavin also talk about a small New

as well as the drinking habits of those who live at the Vatican.

Episode 78 -- Alarms, anniversaries and alcohol (March 15, 2014)
It's March 15 -- so we're in the week marking the anniversary of the
election of Pope Francis. The interview the Holy Father conducted
recently is a topic for discussion, along with the latest statistics
on Catholics in New Zealand -- nominal and practising -- and the
promotion of Cardinal George Pell to head the Vatican's new economic
secretariat. James, Helen and Gavin also talk about a small New
Zealand town fighting the departure of a group of religious sisters,
as well as the drinking habits of those who live at the Vatican.
Thanks for listening; tell your friends.

In an extended conversation with the Italian paper Corriere della

church's record on its child sexual abuse scandals, but also
complained that "the church is the only one attacked." While the pope
touched on many other points in the interview, from divorced and
remarried Catholics and birth control to some of the urban myths that
have grown up around him, it was his comments on the abuse scandals
that seemed most destined to spark reaction. It wasn't long in
