STATION XV (podcast)

http://station15.co.nz/

Episode 176 — Sacrifice, Synod, Census, Sisters (July 15 2022)

The Pope has also made headlines with the commitment to appoint women to the panel that appoints bishops (announced before we recorded, followed through after the recording).

Maybe some ardent prayer — come rain or shine — is the way to go…
