SOCIAL JUSTICE WEEK : 13-19 September 2015

Social Justice Week addresses family poverty in New Zealand
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1509/S00126/social-justice-week-addresses-family-poverty-in-new-zealand.htm

Responding to the bleak statistic that almost a quarter of all New
Zealand families with children experience income poverty (2014 Child
Poverty Monitor), Social Justice Week this year is focused on family
poverty and what it would take for all Kiwi families to flourish. An
annual awareness-raising campaign, the week is set aside by the
Catholic Bishops of New Zealand and runs from 13-19 September this
year...

Pope's annulment reform will recalibrate the Synod of Bishops,
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/09/08/popes-annulment-reform-will-recalibrate-the-synod-of-bishops-and-more/

In his latest reform move, Pope Francis on Tuesday issued two new
legal documents, each technically known as a motu proprio, the thrust
of which is to make it faster, easier, and less expensive to obtain an
annulment. Annulments are hugely important at the retail level of the
faith, because for Catholics whose relationships break down and who
want to get married in the Church to someone else, they first have to
obtain one ...

For Boko Haram victims, persecution is a never-ending story
http://www.cruxnow.com/faith/2015/08/28/for-boko-haram-victims-persecution-is-a-never-ending-story/

Abuja, Nigeria — From the outside, religious persecution can often
seem a one-and-done affair. A bomb goes off and then calm returns, or
a militant group storms a village and then retreats. Generally news
reports follow the story for a day or so, and then attention shifts
elsewhere. Spending time with victims, however, it's crystal-clear
that for them, the consequences linger long after the immediate
calamity has passed...

friend to and scholar of the New Zealand literary great, writes Shane
Gilchrist.

Victoria University Press has just published Complete Prose of James
K. Baxter, edited by Dr John Weir. It is an enormous undertaking –
four hardback volumes in a box set that John began working on 40 years
ago. The volumes take in Baxter's journals, reviews, letters, stories,
an unpublished novel, letters to the editor, interviews, and
meditations.

Some might say it amounts to divine intervention: the heritage-listed
monastery that graces Wellington's skyline looks like being saved from
a daunting $10 million quake-strengthening bill. St Gerard's Church
and Monastery was yellow-stickered after seismic engineers assessed
the hillside buildings in Mt Victoria as needing major strengthening
to reach or exceed 34 per cent of new building standards.

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST

http://station15.co.nz/

August 17, 2015
Station XV: Episode 95 — Pope, Polls, Polar Priests and Pasta

Pope Francis's summer has surely been soured (#sarcasm) by new polls
in the United States that show his popularity is waning across the
board — with conservatives and progressives alike not as enamoured
with the Pontiff as they were a year ago. The poll comes a few weeks
before his visit to the US. When it comes to Antarctica, though, there
won't be any more visits from Catholic priests, with money and a lack
of demand seeing an end to New Zealand priests ministering on The Ice.
In other news, the divorced and remarried debate continues and a Kiwi
priest with a colourful past gets an important international gig. But
it's the papal declaration on the secret to happiness that has Lucy,
Don, James and Gavin really excited. Enjoy the episode.

http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/08/19/notes-from-rome-popes-man-in-italy-stirs-a-row-over-immigration/

Some years ago, I was meeting a veteran Vatican-watcher from the
States for coffee in Rome. When I arrived, he was deep into scouring
local papers about some controversy involving the Italian Church, and
I asked why he was interested in what seemed mostly a domestic Italian
affair. "Never forget, Italy is the Vatican's R&D department," he told
me. "Things get tried out here, reaction gets tested, before it goes
global" ...

This week Pope Francis once again took up the topic of divorced and
remarried Catholics. On Wednesday, the pontiff called for greater
compassion for such folks, but didn't address whether the Communion
ban should be relaxed. That issue proved intensely polarizing at a
summit of bishops in Rome last year, called a "synod," and will be on
the docket when the bishops gather again this October ...

What do the pope's words mean for the Communion debate?
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/08/05/what-do-the-popes-words-mean-for-the-communion-debate/

Parsing the words of Pope Francis is a notoriously hazardous
undertaking, as he tends sometimes to say things that seem almost
deliberately open to multiple interpretations — remember "Who am I to
judge?" — and then play his cards close to the vest in terms of what
policy implications, if any, may ensue. That's a caution worth
reiterating as his words at Wednesday's general audience on divorced
and remarried Catholics make the rounds...
