‘Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity.’

Fr. James Martin has a reputation of being a very inclusive thinker in Catholic circles. So much so that he occasionally get in trouble Case in point: In this 2018 interview he details the slings & arrows he endured for writing a book that encouraged a conversation within the Church about LGBT issues. Notice I said "conversation." The book does not call for rewriting dogma, blind acceptance of what is the current social norm, or violent revolution in the streets. Just a conversation. Believe me, he could write a new book just relating his experiences in writing this one. Good conversation is just click a way. Theme music "Nigal."
