LGBT Catholic Stuff

Eventually, I want this to be a resource center, connecting to other likeminded blogs and filled with links to to blogposts I've written about dealing with being queer and Catholic. But for now, this page will act as my to-do list of things to write about someday as opposed to anything else!

Resources
  • A letter to a young gay Catholic - A letter by a Catholic priest, James Alison, who hit the nose on the head when it comes to the feelings of many gay Catholics. I will cheerfully admit that I cried buckets during my reading of this letter... but it helped me! 
  • New Ways Ministry- one word: support. That's what you'll find here! 
  • More to come!

Related Blogposts (that will eventually all link to actual posts I've written instead of being placeholders)
