Liturgy of the Margins

For too long, the doors of the Church have felt heavy to those on the outside. For many, the "Mass" is a place of beauty shadowed by the "Judgment of Other Eyes."Hosted by Robert Jerome Pagan, a Catholic Minister and a spiritually queer man of faith, Liturgy of the Margins is a sanctuary for those who have felt they had to hide their love for Christ to protect their truth. Robert knows the struggle of living at the intersection of the sacred and the "scandalous," and he’s here to tell you: God’s love doesn't have a waiting room. This is "Fast Mass"—the core of the Gospel, the heat of the Spirit, and a radical, inclusive blessing, all delivered in 30 minutes or less. Whether you are deconstructing, reconstructing, or just need a spiritual pit stop without the side-eye, there is a seat for you at this table.No judgment. No hiding. Just the Word, for the world. "I spent years wondering if there was a place for my love and my Lord in the same room. I stopped waiting for the invitation and decided to build the room myself. Welcome to the Margins." -RJP Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/liturgy-of-the-margins--6839792/support.

    The Shepherd or the Hireling: J.D. Vance and the Death of Renee Nicole Good

    I am beyond distraught. @followers I’ve spent the last few days in a silence so heavy I could barely breathe. The state-sanctioned murder of Renee Nicole Good has broken something in me that I didn’t know was still left to break. She was a poet. She was a mother. I may not have known her personally, but she was my family in the queer world. And now, she is a Martyr. I didn’t know how to process this. I didn’t know how to scream loud enough for the heavens to hear. So, I did the only thing I know how to do: I prepared a Mass. This is THE MASS OF THE MARTYRS. This isn't just a "show." This is my Midnight Mass for the broken-hearted. This is for those of you who are too sick to stand on a picket line but whose hearts are marching in the streets. This is for those who are homebound, disabled, or isolated, watching the world burn from behind a screen. This is for my Queer family who have been told for centuries that they don’t belong at the Altar—tonight, the Altar belongs to you. This is for every person who feels alienated by a Church that quotes scripture while signing death warrants. If you can’t go out and protest, if you feel like your voice has been stolen, if you are mourning a woman you never met but whose soul you recognized—come sit with me. Tonight, we don’t pray for a hollow peace. We pray for Judgment. We canonize a Saint of the Margins. Renee Nicole Good: Mother. Poet. Martyr. Pray for us.
