THE 15TH STATION PODCAST


June 15, 2016
Episode 105 — Negligence, Tolerance, Intolerance and Holiness 

Somewhat recurrent themes on The 15th Station — clerical abuse and the state of the US presidential race show their face again in this month's episode. Pope Francis has taken steps to make the removal of negligent bishops more straightforward, despite some counter-productive efforts in the US on statutes of limitations. Former NZ Prime Minister Helen Clark says the country offers a model for religious tolerance at about the same time Donald Trump is accused of lacking in that virtue. The holiness of a French priest who served in New Zealand and the humour of Jim and Jeanne Gaffigan might save us.

Episode 104 — May 17, 2016
Pope, Pope, President, Pope and Pasta

Pope Francis can't seem to stay out of the headlines, but it's mostly for positive reasons that he's in the media in the first place. Pope Francis's gesture — which he says wasn't political — to bring 12 Syrians back to Rome from the Greek island of Lesbos captured headlines and people's hearts. His call for tough action on paedophiles was well received, but many want actions rather than words. The new Filipino president's words, including a pretty unkind swipe at Pope Francis, were also in the news, as was discussion of women deacons. But was the media coverage more hopeful than truthful? Check out a transcript of what the Pope actually said. Maybe James, Don and Gavin could get more information from the Pastafarian lovebirds married in New Zealand. Yes; you read that correctly. Enjoy the show.
