THE 15TH STATION PODCAST


April 16, 2016 
Episode 103 — Communion, Commission, Closures and Contributions

The Pope's apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia leads off this month's episode and — spoiler alert — there are some strong feelings on the document. Pope Francis's Holy Thursday initiative to wash the feet of refugees of different faiths and the possible Royal Commission into child sexual abuse in New Zealand also feature, and Don, James and Gavin have a mix of sadness and support for the closure of three parishes in Dunedin. Maybe if they'd been receiving tithes via a new app, the parishes could've stayed open. Just joking. Mostly. Enjoy the show.
