Eve has written a couple of recent articles about this document and, in the course of that, interviewed several LGBTQ Catholics and pastors. She shares some of those experiences with us. Eve was on the podcast last year and we had a wonderful conversation about her book, Tenderness: A Gay Christian's Guide to Unlearning Rejection and Experiencing God's Extravagant Love.
