Bishop apologises to Dunedin: 'It's indefensible' (photo)
Michael Dooley, the Bishop of Dunedin, has apologised to the city and asked for forgiveness, after admitting the Catholic Church failed to protect children from paedophiles disguised as men of the cloth. And, as more victims continue to come forward, he has also added his voice to growing calls for churches to be included in the Government's upcoming Royal Commission into historic abuse.

Bishop's open letter tells of pain, distress (photo)
Days after Pope Francis wrote an open letter to all Catholics, condemning child abuse and its concealment within the Church, the Bishop of Dunedin has followed in his footsteps. Dunedin Bishop the Most Rev Michael Dooley yesterday made public a letter he has penned to his diocese, which is to be included in parish newsletters across the lower South Island.

Auckland Churches hit with biblical rates' rises
Auckland Council will urgently review the rates' bills of the City's Churches after hundreds were issued huge rises – one of 6900%. The Council issued new rates' bills, without consultation, to hundreds of Churches earlier this month, claiming many were using all or parts of their property for business, not religious purposes.

Arrowtown Olive Leaf encounters objections (video)
Residents claim a proposed community centre to be built next to an historic church could set a precedent for Arrowtown's character to be whittled away. The NoLeaf Incorporated Society was formed to object to the Olive Leaf Centre Trust's proposals, for a multi-purpose building beside the St Patrick's Catholic Church.

Historic 'tomo' church used as an illegal rubbish tip (photos)

*******************

Catholic Church apologises for comments on abuse
The Catholic Church in New Zealand has been forced to apologise for comments implying parents bore some responsibility for stopping clerical sexual abuse. The statements by Monsignor John Harrison, of the Catholic Diocese of Dunedin, and Auckland Bishop Patrick Dunn came in an Otago Daily Times article, published last week.

Brother blamed for death (photos)
An ODT Insight investigation, as part of the ongoing "Marked by the Cross" series, has uncovered allegations of historic sexual abuse, dating back to the 1970s, levelled against two Christian Brothers.

Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Cathedral raised in push for Arrowtown's Olive Leaf building (illustration)
The drive to build a new, leaf-shaped church building in Central Otago has been likened to the push to compete the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona. The multipurpose Olive Leaf Centre building is described as a "gift" to the Catholic parish and wider community in Arrowtown.

STATION XV


Episode 130 — Abolition, Resignation, Sanctification, Vocation and CELEBRATION!!

There are many serious topics on this month's agenda, but the episode starts with a celebration of 11 years of The 15th Station. The reminiscing gives way to the important discussion of a change to the Church's official teaching on the death penalty and the resignations of two senior Catholic leaders. Despite the challenges the Church is facing in many places, Auckland Bishop Patrick Dunn has urged young people to strive for holiness, which is what an Irish priest is also hoping will be a fruit of Pope Francis' upcoming trip to the country this month.

Renewed calls for church to be part of Royal Commission 
Otago Daily Times
Magnus Murray, a paedophile priest who left a trail of victims in his wake, was allowed to continue as a man of the cloth for nearly two decades after his offending was revealed to the Bishop of Dunedin. Survivors say it shows why the Catholic Church should be part of a Royal Commission into historic abuse. Chris Morris investigates...

Episode 129 — Confession, Concession, Courts and Confusion (July 15, 2018)

The Catholic Church in New Zealand and Australia is under pressure to change the way it approaches the seal of Confession, with governments in both countries wondering if removing the seal would stem child sexual abuse. Bishops in both countries have a clear answer: "No." In the US, President Trump is pushing ahead with his second Supreme Court nominee in Catholic Brett Kavanaugh. Another president, Filipino Rodrigo Duterte, is also making headlines for his name-calling and his curious theology, while the NZ bishops are also wondering how their theology is helping (or hurting) the Church's evangelisation efforts. A Baptist church, however, is just wondering how they can show the face — and body — of Jesus to the world, literally. Join Anna, James and Gavin for this month's episode of The 15th Station.
