    To have this conversation is one thing. However, what was said through out the episode and the guest hosts - one of which authored a book promoting the “beauty” of living a homosexual lifestyle while self identifying as Catholic - was scandal. Big difference between being loving inclusive towards someone and condoning mortally sinful actions. San Jose diocese misrepresents the faith and it is dangerous and deplorable. Heartbreaking 🙏🏻

  • Intimate Conversations with Religious Rock my Socks!

    I adored the latest episode with sisters and Bishop Cantú recounting stories from their lives as religious. Gracefully, the Bishop’s blessing at the end of the episode was unexpected and overwhelming. Thank you for these moments of grace. “Food for the journey.”
