STATION XV (podcast)
http://station15.co.nz/
Station XV: Episode 171 – Data, Papa, Papa, Data, Pater
It's not the most uplifting line-up of stories, but the panel tackles a range of important topics this month. In New Zealand, data has been released on abuse within the Church, as well as on the number of people accessing euthanasia now that it has been legalised. On the other side of the world, Pope Benedict has sought forgiveness for the way the Church handled abuse, including while Archbishop of Munich, and Pope Francis has prayed for peace between Ukraine and Russia. Anna, Don, James and Gavin conclude on a musical note, marking the death of Australian Mercy Sister Janet Mead, whose rock version of the Our Father was a hit in the 1970s.
