  Station XV: Episode 194 — So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu

  Dec 17, 202441 minS0

  <p>In New Zealand, we often tell someone we’ll “see you later”, rather than saying “goodbye”. And as we work our way through Advent 2024, more than 17 years after James uttered those now well-known words “You’re tuned to The 15th Station, New Zealand’s first Catholic podcast”, it’s time to say “see you later”.</p> <p>On this final episode using our current format, James, Gavin and Gabriel – three of the four “originals” – are joined by Don and Anna to reminisce and to celebrate the years of digital ministry together. There’s even some audio from that first episode; we’re grateful the qualit...

  Station XV: Episode 193 — Pope to Papua (New Guinea), Paris, Patrick

  Apr 16, 20241 hourS0

  <p>Pope Francis’ first trip to the Oceania region headlines this month’s episode, as the Pontiff prepares to visit Papua New Guinea, as well as East Timor, Indonesia and Singapore on the longest trip of his pontificate. It’s also been a long time coming for a new document on human dignity, in which the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith tackles some major social issues. In France, the number of adults becoming Catholic has been surging. What might be the cause? Are they showing courage? That’s what Pope Francis is calling Christians to exhibit. And we’re sure th...

  Station XV: Episode 192 — Allegations, Attitudes, Anthropology, Advertising

  Mar 18, 202455 minS0

  <p>New Zealand’s lone cardinal has been the subject of allegations of abuse in the 1970s, with the allegations aired publicly despite police saying they won’t proceed with charges. It’s a challenging opening for Anna, Don, Cameron and James this month, but there are reasons for hope as a study finds young people are inclined to believe in God and Pope Francis is preparing to mark Holy Thursday by visiting a prison. The Holy Father has also spoken out again about gender ideology, saying it’s a great challenge. Apparently an advertisement featuring Jesus has been a challeng...

  Station XV: Episode 191 — Blessing, Reading, Deciding, Writing

  Jan 16, 20241h 15mS0

  <p>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 t...

  Station XV: Episode 190 — Six, Synod, Shift, Strickland, Sister

  Nov 16, 20231h 11mS0

  <p>After a long wait, New Zealand now has a full complement of six bishops, with a new Bishop of Hamilton named. Bishops have also been busy in Rome for the Synod of Bishops, while one US bishop in particular now has a lot more time on his hands. His episcopal leadership has undergone what might be called a “paradigm shift”, if that term isn’t reserved exclusively for a new approach to theology. Meanwhile, in France, a religious sister just shifted someone who was protesting the construction of a new religious building. Join Anna, Cam, Don and James for a fast...
