THE 15TH STATION PODCAST

http://station15.co.nz/

June 15, 2015
Station XV: Episode 93 — On Popes, the planet, populations and pitying
(the fool)

In this month's episode, the upcoming papal encyclical on ecology and
the environment, to be released on June 18, takes top billing. As
Vatican-watcher John Allen points out, there are likely to be a number
of false claims in the media when Laudato Si is released. The panel —
James, Helen, Don and Gavin — also talk about the changing
demographics of Kiwis, new measures to hold bishops accountable for
failing to protect children and the "Yes" vote to same-sex marriage in
Ireland. And the show ends with a reflection on TV's 1980s hard man Mr
T and his Christian faith.

Pope's eco-manifesto looks like a game-changer in the US
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2015/06/19/popes-environmental-manifesto-looks-like-a-game-changer-in-the-us/

Now that Pope Francis finally has released his long-awaited encyclical
letter on the environment, blaming "unfettered greed" for mounting
pollution, global warming, and climate change, and framing strong
limits on fossil fuels and greenhouse gases as a clear moral
imperative, the question becomes: So what? ...
