Memo to the disgruntled: The church is a family, not a political party
https://cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2022/08/memo-to-the-disgruntled-the-church-is-a-family-not-a-political-party

Episode 176 — Sacrifice, Synod, Census, Sisters (July 15 2022)
http://station15.co.nz/2022/07/station-xv-episode-176-sacrifice-synod-census-sisters/
The 15th Station podcast
Pope Francis has urged Catholics to better understand the sacrifice of the Mass — which is something the Station 15 panel can certainly get behind. 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). Closer to home, New Zealand dioceses have published the fruits of their local consultation for the Synod of Bishops on Synodality and, across the Tasman, new data shows the number of Catholics in Australia is falling. Maybe some ardent prayer — come rain or shine — is the way to go…
