Featured Website - Hanga Abbey

Published: October 15, 2009

St Maurus' Hanga Abbey is a vibrant Benedictine community in Southern Tanzania. Founded in 1957 by the late Fr Ebehard Spiess, Hanga Abbey was created to allow the Tanzanian population to live in the spirit of St Benedict.

The abbey accepts between 10-20 candidates each year and encourages western tourists to come and sample both Benedictine and African hospitality and culture. The website has much material for tourists, including a "responsible tourism" charter for visitors to Tanzania.

  1. Feature - Interview with Human Life International head

    It's naive to think that you can fight abortion without also dealing with the issue of contraception for many, many reasons. Number 1 because fertility has not just a personal dimension, it has a social dimension. As we are seeing now in the declining fertility rates around the world, and how the declining fertility rates have economic consequences, have demographic consequences, have immigration consequences, and so even on a social level, if you ignore the whole issue of fertility, and just focus on abortion you're never going to see it in its full truth. - Inside the Vatican

  2. Featured Website - Catholic Mission: World Mission Month

    Sunday October 18 is World Mission Day and Catholic Mission Australia has developed a website which incorporates the Day but also the month of October which it terms World Mission Month. It is a time dedicated to reflection in the hope that all the baptised will be always more committed to Christ's mission of salvation for the world.

  3. Book Review - God's Philosophers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science

    God's Philosophers has been criticised for reading like a textbook, but a textbook is exactly what is needed, both for those now studying and for those who have to unlearn what we were taught in textbooks written under the shadow of the authors of the great IXth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. - Joe Egerton, Thinking Faith

  4. Opinion - A matter of responsibility

    The fact that one bishop worries that another bishop's public speech might have had a corrosive effect on the faith is itself a clear sign that others have shirked their responsibility. If Bishop Gumbleton undermines Church teaching on the highly contested issues, and he does, why does he remain a bishop in good standing? The Vatican has responsibilities, too. - Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture

  5. Feature - Driving nonviolence

    There are many facets of nonviolence. We're just beginning to plumb the mystery, the possibility, the hope of becoming a nonviolent people. But there is, I think, one basic straightforward and practical measure of our nonviolence, how we drive. - Fr John Dear, National Catholic Reporter
