Tue, 26 January 2010 After hearing from Fr Merv Duffy last month — last year even — on the various forms of prayer, this month's episode of Catechiwi looks at the Holy Mass, generally considered to be the ultimate form of prayer. When was the first Mass? What are the various parts of the Mass? How does the Mass prepare us for the world? Fr Merv is back to answer those questions and others.

Thu, 14 January 2010  Well it's summer time down here in NZ, and the living may be a little too easy as we've been unable to call the crew together for an episode recording! Whether it's a honeymoon, Hearts Aflame (www.heartsaflame.org.nz) or just the call of the Kiwi beaches, we are all scattered across the country and the globe at the moment, so there won't be a 15th Station episode this month.
Awwww...don't cry! We'll be back next month, we promise. Until then, maybe listen to some of our old episodes you might have missed? Or spend the time praying for some needy causes - the tragedy in Haiti springs to mind.
See you next month! Category: station15 -- posted at: 4:52 PM |

Tue, 15 December 2009 For our final show of the decade, the three (not so wise) men talk about the bishops opposing the FPA's application for an abortion license, the Pope's take on climate change, have a heated exchange about adding "Catholic" to the names of our schools, the latest Irish abuse report, and eye damage to well meaning but misguided Catholic pilgrims? All this and some more great music from the Priests - Happy Christmas everyone! Direct download: 15th_Station_dec_09.mp3 Category: station15 -- posted at: 12:00 AM |

Mon, 14 December 2009 It's something we should be doing every day, multiple times each day. No, not brushing your teeth (though that's good too). In the December episode of Catechiwi, we speak to Fr Merv Duffy, SM, on prayer. Fr Merv, a Catechiwi favourite, talks about different reasons to pray, different ways to pray and gives some valuable advice on prayer in general.
[Apologies for the late posting — Gavin. Mea maxima culpa.]

Sun, 8 November 2009 When Christ walked the earth, it was his wish that the Church should be "one". However, over the past 2000 years, the Church has had major splits and minor splits, leading to countless Christian churches around the world. Since the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church has been trying to restore unity with other Christians. In this month's episode of Catechiwi, Gavin Abraham interviews Msgr Juan Usma Gomez, a native of Colombia and now an official with the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. Msgr Usma Gomez talks about the successes of the ecumenical movement, looks at the "state of play" at the moment and touches on the recent Vatican announcement on welcoming Anglicans into the Church.

Sun, 1 November 2009 This month we take a break from our usual programing schedule to bring you a special presentation on euthanasia that was given by Brendan Malone last month in Auckland. The talk, entitled "Euthanasia and Human Dignity", examines the recent cultural trend towards embracing euthanasia and it explores some of the philosophical errors underpinning this trend, and some good reasons why legalising euthanasia is a very dangerous thing for a society to do.

Thu, 15 October 2009 The 15th Station welcomes a couple of new panelists on this month's show as we discuss the Church's newest saints, the deadly tsunami in the Pacific and officials telling Catholics not to get pregnant. Those stories, and much more, on this month's episode, including the latest "apparition" of Our Lady. Is this the Virgin Mary — http://www.virginmarysamoa.com/VM3.jpg? Or is it a Coke bottle?
