Eggs Benedict @ WYD?
(Safe travels to all those going to World Youth Day!)
This month, we talk about Clare Dooley from Christchurch having lunch with the Pope, Ken Orr being attacked on YouTube for protecting the lives of the unborn, the Australian bishops apologising and calling lapsed Catholics home, the Society of St Pius X and we answer that question that everyone has always wanted answered…does the Pope wear Prada?
The video we mentioned is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9JTow-oumY

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.

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.

Censorship, Politics and the Pope’s Cat

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?
