It’s a bit sickle-ing
You’d think there’s only one story to talk about this month – Fr.Peter Murnane and friends bursting the balloon over the Waihopai spy base. But while we do give some airtime to that, we also talk about the Pope’s visit to the U.S.A., priests from other cultures, American politicians and receiving Communion, and a fantastic, uplifting, pro-life story.

The boys are back in town
In this episode it’s just the boys talking about the permanent diaconate coming to the Auckland Diocese, a Cardinal saying divorced and remarried people are welcome at Mass, the story of Fr Vincent who was married and is now a priest, Cardinal Pell and the carbon tax on babies in Australia and ending off with the strange gifts the Pope has received. Quite a full episode actually!

Christmas hope
Our first Christmas podcast and there’s quite a bit to talk about. The Pope’s new encyclical on hope has been released, and it makes for popular reading. We talk about the 4,210 NZ pilgrims are heading over to see him next year at World Youth Day, and whether or not movies like the Golden Compass can be bad for the faith of those who watch them. And we talk a bit about Christmas traditions and interpretations of the season. We wish all our listeners a happy and Holy Christmas.

Counting is hard
This month we talk about another TV show denigrating our Faith, a pebble that looks like Our Lady, a group that thinks the Iraq war is punishment for the U.S. stance on homosexuality and the NZ bishop’s strategic vision for the next five years. Oh, and we show that it’s harder than you think to name Ten Commandments.

In the beginning
Our first ever podcast! This is what they call a “pilot” in the industry – things will change between this episode and next: i.e. we may have different people on the panel, we’ll have better audio quality and we may even try and get some theme music! 🙂
In this podcast, we talk about the Pope’s motu proprio, a Catholic town and ponder on the question – is New Zealand a Christian country?
