NZ CATHOLIC BISHOPS' CONFERENCE

"All views on assisted suicide matter" says Bioethics spokesperson (24 Aug 2016)

Director of The Nathaniel Bioethics Centre, Dr John Kleinsman, is surprised and appalled at the disingenuous tactics being employed by assisted suicide supporters. Both Matt Vickers and Act MP David Seymour have in recent days described the unprecedented number of submissions to the Health Select Committee and the overwhelming 78% opposition to a law change as nothing more than the result of formulaic submissions collected in bulk by mostly religious institutions or as religious bullying from the pulpit by pastors ...

THE 15TH STATION PODCAST


August 15, 2016 
Episode 107 — Making Assumptions on our 9th birthday

It's the Solemnity of the Assumption of Our Lady — so that means it's our birthday. The 15th Station celebrates nine years of podcasting with a show that opens with the shocking story of an elderly French priest's murder at the hands of cowardly terrorists. As hard as it is to proceed from such horror, the Holy Father's comments at World Youth Day and some forthright words from a seminary formation director help to refocus on the positivity of the Catholic faith. To show the joy of that faith, the Church needs great witnesses. And Pope Francis wants parish secretaries to be part of that number. Enjoy our birthday show!
