STATION XV (podcast)

Station XV: Episode 174 – Constitution, Cardinal, Children, Concern, Commandments (May 18, 2022)
http://station15.co.nz/2022/05/station-xv-episode-174-constitution-cardinal-children-concern-commandments/

The Catholic world has (as always) had some big news stories over the past month, led by the leaked US Supreme Court opinion foreshadowing an overturning of Roe v Wade. Elsewhere, the arrest of a 90-year-old cardinal sent shockwaves through some parts of the Church (and the wider society), and Pope Francis has again spoken about God's care for LGBT Catholics. In New Zealand, there are concerns about attitudes towards blasphemy, but deeper concerns about Bible editing skills. All in a (tardy) episode, due to COVID-19.
