  • So good

    Bit of a slow start, but once it settled in I was completely engaged by who Fr. Rivers was and what he did. And love the discussion of what that might mean for the future.

  • Hope Remains

    Thank you for this amazing series. This episode with Cardinal Gregory helped me see abs wait patiently for my steps to be ordered as we walk together towards a church where all are welcomed, cherished and loved. I’ve learned so much about Father Rivers. By his example I am humbled, motivated and prayerful - hope remains.

  • Gripping

    I may be biased as a cradle Catholic married to a church musician and living in an ethnically diverse area of the country, but this podcast is fantastic. It is so well done and tells a fascinating story in an NPR Serial style. I am learning so much and can’t wait to listen to more.

  • Well Done & Hugely Interesting

    A thoughtful glimpse into the life of an American Catholic priest and a Church in the process of coming to grips with Vatican II. A beautiful story about the contributions (and struggles) of Black Catholics living in a Euro-centric Church.
