STATION XV


Episode 131 — Convention, Confession, Confusion and Consternation (16 September 2018)
It's a fairly heavy — and sombre — episode of The 15th Station this month, as Anna, James and Gavin survey the fairly challenging landscape for Catholics in most parts of the world, as the sexual abuse crisis continues to loom large over this era and this papacy. Pope Francis has called a meeting of the presidents of bishops' conferences, while the Church in Australia has responded to the forensic examination it (and other institutions) received during the Royal Commission. In New Zealand, voices are being raised to defeat euthanasia legislation and there are new stats about annulments — but what do they mean? And, in the Czech Republic, what do spooky, ghostly figures in a Catholic church mean?

Why Francis's child protection summit may be highest-stakes gamble of his papacy
https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2018/09/13/why-franciss-child-protection-summit-may-be-highest-stakes-gamble-of-his-papacy/

Wednesday's big Vatican story was clearly the announcement that Pope Francis has summoned all the presidents of national conferences of Catholic bishops from around the world, more than 100 prelates in all, to Rome Feb. 21-24 for a session on "the protection of minors". The February meeting has "not business as usual" written all over it. It's rare for the Vatican to summon all the presidents of the world's bishops' conferences for any reason, and it's the first time ever the Vatican has convened such a cross-section of senior leadership to talk about the abuse crisis...
