Case 151: Dan O'Connell & James Ellison
Added 2020-07-25 07:05:18 +0000 UTCThe only funeral home in Hudson was a sprawling, single-storey brick and weatherboard building owned by a local resident, Tom O’Connell, whose family had lived in the area for generations. Tom’s uncle had owned an undertaking business in town prior to World War II and in 1985, Tom decided to relaunch the family business.

2020-08-06 06:35:57 +0000 UTCThe Catholic Church no longer considers suicide a mortal sin. The Wikipedia information quoted in the episode is incorrect. The Church's latest stance on suicide is referenced below. As a Catholic and loyal listener, it would be most appreciated if this correction could be noted, This is the second episode to incorrectly quote the Church's teachings. "The church acknowledges, however, that most people who die by suicide suffer from mental illness and are thus incapable of making a clear, rational decision. This was first reflected in 1992 when John Paul II approved the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which clearly articulated this position for the first time." - https://uscatholic.org/articles/201410/is-suicide-a-sin/

2020-07-28 12:26:19 +0000 UTCGreat job team. The older I get, the more I see that people do a lot of terrible things for money and sex. There is a lot of good done by the church. But yes, a lot of bad. Like many stories, the warnings were numerous, but the watchers did not care.

2020-07-26 01:51:52 +0000 UTCThat escalated quickly. I find these types of crimes especially awful. Such an abuse of trust and power.

2020-07-25 22:39:35 +0000 UTCWhen I read the description at first I was like “Hudson? Like, Wisconsin?” Sure enough! I love how the Australian podcast does more stories that take place in my own backyard (Minnesota girl, here) than any other!
