A Gay Catholic Priest's Last Mass
This episode dives deep into the story of Father Jordan, a gay Catholic priest who recently celebrated his last mass before leaving the ministry. Through this personal and emotional account, we explore themes of faith, resilience, community, and the challenges of leaving a high-demand religious role. Joined by a supportive group of former clerics and laypeople, we reflect on the impact of religious trauma, authenticity, and the hope for new beginnings.
