THE 15TH STATION PODCAST
Elections, Episcopacy, Elevation, Ecumenism and Exorcism (October 15, 2016)
The longest — and most negative — presidential campaign in history is coming to a close. Don, James and Gavin talk about the Pope's advice for US voters: Study the policies, pray and vote your conscience. Where does that leave voters? The panel also discuss a new bishop in Australia, who's actually a New Zealander, the new group of cardinals and what that says about Pope Francis's vision for the Church, and also the ecumenical efforts of Anglican and Catholic leaders, including two Kiwi bishops. And this month's light story isn't all that light; in fact, it's pretty dark. Does the world have enough exorcists? Enjoy another diverse episode of The 15th Station.
