Station XV: Episode 69 — Catholics, Atheists and Nudists (June 17, 2013)

Can atheists get to heaven? Can a group of Catholics call their Catholic group "Catholic"? Can Pope Francis continue his charmed run with the media when he makes his first overseas trip next month? Can Catholics still be members of the Boy Scouts of America? And can someone without any pants parody the Pope?

And if you're looking for John Allen's preview (mentioned in the show) of the challenge facing Pope Francis ahead of World Youth Day, you can find it here.
