Episode 81 — Harmony, Celibacy, Inequality (June 16, 2014)

Pope Francis has been grabbing headlines again this month, not only
for his trip to Israel and Palestine, but also for his hosting of a
prayer meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas at the Vatican. That leads this month's
episode, and Helen, James and Gavin also talk about inequality in New
Zealand, the inhumane treatment of refugees and asylum seekers trying
to find a new home in Australia and about a group of women in Italy
who want the Pope to drop the pesky celibacy rule that's stopping them
from being able to marry the priests they've fallen in love with. And
if that's not enough, we've got the Football World Cup, Christ the
Redeemer and a betting agency to round out the show. Send us feedback
at podcast@station15.co.nz

Francis visit cements Sant'Egidio as winner
http://goo.gl/Sr6NCr
Political categories are an inexact fit for religious realities, but
if we're going to use them anyway, it's tough to spot a bigger winner
in Catholicism under Pope Francis than the Community of Sant'Egidio,
whose commitment to the poor, to inter-religious dialogue, and to
peace seems an ideal fit. Pope Francis visited the Rome headquarters
of the renowned lay movement Sunday, greeted by some 10,000 people.
Perhaps sensing he was among friends, Francis delivered another blast
against forms of capitalism that he regards as insensitive to the
human cost of financial decisions...

Rome — Hours before he convened an unprecedented Vatican prayer
service for peace in the Middle East, Pope Francis told a crowd
gathered in St. Peter's Square that "a church that doesn't have the
capacity to surprise . . . is a dying church." By that standard,
Francis showed that Catholicism on his watch is alive and kicking by
delivering one of the greatest surprises of his papacy ...

http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2014/05/27/perils-let-all-hang-out-pope/gb2ZwlB2zIy8kbY3G05qpL/story.html
