June 15, 2016
Episode 105 — Negligence, Tolerance, Intolerance and Holiness 

Somewhat recurrent themes on The 15th Station — clerical abuse and the state of the US presidential race show their face again in this month's episode. Pope Francis has taken steps to make the removal of negligent bishops more straightforward, despite some counter-productive efforts in the US on statutes of limitations. Former NZ Prime Minister Helen Clark says the country offers a model for religious tolerance at about the same time Donald Trump is accused of lacking in that virtue. The holiness of a French priest who served in New Zealand and the humour of Jim and Jeanne Gaffigan might save us.
