CathNews

CathNews NZ and PacificCathNews New Zealand and CathNews Pacific report news about the Catholic Church and subjects of interest to the Church primarily in New Zealand and the Pacific, but also the world.

CathNews should be seen as an expression of the Pastoral Constitution of the Church in the Modern World, paragraph one:

“The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the people of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed, nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts. For theirs is a community composed of human beings. United in Christ, they are led by the Holy Spirit in their journey to the Kingdom of their Father and they have welcomed the news of salvation which is meant for every person. That is why this community realizes that it is truly linked with humanity and its history by the deepest of bonds.”

News is delivered twice-weekly via a free email newsletter, Twitter, Facebook and an RSS feed. The focus of CathNews’ interest includes:

  • Education
  • Economics, Tax, Banks, Financial Institutions, Infrastructure, Mining
  • Immigration
  • Child Care, Child Abuse
  • Family
  • Poverty, Substance Abuse, Unemployment
  • Human Rights, Religious Freedom
  • Ecumenism, other religions and religious tolerance
  • Race Relations, Treaty Settlements, Maori Party, Tinorangatiratanga
  • Church: Reform, Liturgy, Priesthood, Bishops, Theology, New Religious Movements, Church Attendance
  • Primary Industries e.g. Fisheries, Agriculture
  • Defense, Foreign Relations, Emergency aid, Foreign Aid
  • Science/Medicine: Reproductive technology Genetic Manipulation, Stem cells, Euthanasia, Climate Change, Energy
  • Information Technology, Nano Technology, Bio-technology
  • Inter-Church relations
  • The relationship between Society and the Church.
