STATION XV
Episode 155 — Papal Ponderings, Politics, Prayer, Pell and Pews (October 14, 2020)
Pope Francis' new encyclical on fraternity and solidarity leads this month's episode of The 15th Station, with the document seen as particularly important in a time of pandemic. In New Zealand, the upcoming general election — in terms of the bishops' statement and the Opposition Leader's faith — is on the agenda, as is the unfolding drama around Cardinal George Pell and a recently-resigned cardinal. A little bit of light entertainment is needed after all that, and a church in the southern US provides just the remedy. Stay safe, and we hope you enjoy the conversation.
