Episode 159 — Division, Rejection, Conversion, Confusion (11 February 2021)
The candidacy and election of Catholic Joe Biden has divided opinion
within the Church, so his inauguration was destined to be similar —
and it certainly was. Anna, Donald, James and Gavin discuss the
various statements issued on inauguration day, and the subsequent
fallout. In Rome, Pope Francis has spoken out against those who have
rejected Vatican II, saying they are outside the Church, and he has
also made a ground-breaking appointment to a Vatican body. In New
Zealand, the Prime Minister is set to pursue a controversial ban on
"gay conversion therapy", but the panel wonders what that even means.
The Vatican's social media managers are also confused — about the
Pope's Instagram account. A show packed with new and analysis, as
always.
