Station XV: Episode 191 — Blessing, Reading, Deciding, Writing
In our first episode of 2024, we dive into the Church controversy that ended 2023 — the issuance of a Vatican “declaration” on blessings for people in “irregular” relationships. What did the declaration say? How has it been received? Why was there such an uproar? Anna, Cam, James and Gavin try to unpack that, and also check in on the bishops in New Zealand, who have sent a document on Catholic teaching to the country’s politicians. In Christchurch, Bishop Michael Gielen has declared his intentions on the city’s new cathedral, while waiting to hear from his people. In Ireland, the bishops want to see people back at Mass, while in the UK there are fears AI might replace priests. We’re not so worried, though 🙂

Happy Christmas from The 15th Station
Unfortunately we won’t be able to record a Christmas episode for 2023 as sickness has beset The 15th Station team, and we just haven’t been able to get well enough to put on a show this month. We’re sad…but at the same time, we’re happy to have spent another year talking faith and news with you all. We pray that all of you have a wonderful, blessed and holy Christmas season, and we thank you for tuning in! See you in 2024.
