Real Girls Author reports ‘good girls’ speaking out about promiscuity
NEW YORK (Zenit.org) - The leader of the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organisations says the theme for the UN World Population Day, as understood by UN Secretary General Ban Kimoon, promotes the death of innocent children. In Australia, the most wellknown WUCWO affiliate is the Catholic Women’s League. Karen Hurley made the statement in a letter written on July 12 to Ban in response to his message regarding the July 11 World Day, with the theme “Men as Partners in Maternal Health.” Ban’s message for the event focused “attention on the fundamental role of men in supporting women’s rights, including their
President of Australian Bishops Conference offers youth an unlikely - but powerful - way to take control of the hostile forces seeking to seduce them and their lives ■ By Anthony Barich
The president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference hasn’t been in a nightclub lately. Even if he convinced the bouncers he was younger, they probably wouldn’t let Archbishop Philip Wilson in, wearing a clerical collar. But, making it a point to keep in touch with the vibrant Catholic youth comArchbishop munity he has at his Wilson disposal in his Adelaide Archdiocese, he has a pretty good idea what goes on. The nightclub, then, seemed as good a place as any to start his talk on “The media in 2028: Globalisation and the Gospel of Life” when he addressed up to 400 youth in Canberra at the Australian Catholic Students Association’s Congress discussing their role in the future of the Church. Archbishop Wilson said that the impression given to him by young people – and he’s not far off the mark – is that

MAYNOOTH, Ireland (Zenit. org) - Permission has come from Rome to celebrate St Patrick’s Day two days earlier next year. The decision to move the Irish patron saint’s feast day came about because the traditional March 17 festivities will clash with Monday of Holy Week, the Irish Times reported. Under the Catholic Church’s General Norms for the Liturgical Year and Calendar, St Patrick’s feast day does not rank as high as the Monday before Easter. Therefore the decision from Rome is that it will be moved. The last time St Patrick’s Day was moved was in 1940 when it coincided with Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week.
