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.

  1. THE FORBIDDEN GOSPEL- Magdalene Special Crossover

    THE FORBIDDEN GOSPEL- Magdalene Special Crossover

    Three days changed the world. And from those days… two legacies were born. Before the cathedrals rose, before gold crowned the altars, before the laws of empire were written in iron— there was a garden… and there was a secret. Tonight, we enter that moment. Magdalene: Part Three — The Revolution. A reflection on the collision between two callings: Mary Magdalene—witness, apostle, keeper of the living Spirit… and Peter—the builder, the foundation, the one who would shape the Church in stone. One carried a fire meant to be shared. The other, a structure meant to endure. One spoke of a kingdom within. The other, of a kingdom to be built. And in the shadow of resurrection… a choice was made. A choice that would echo across centuries. A choice that would shape power, silence voices, and redefine the message for generations to come. This is not just a story. It is a meditation on what was kept… and what was lost. The Spirit… or the Throne. The Tent… or the Rock.

    The Horror of the Cross Liturgy of the Margins Ep. 4

    They taught you the Cross was clean. A symbol of victory. A banner of righteousness. They were wrong. In this inaugural episode of Liturgy of the Margins, Robert Jerome Pagan steps into the tension between faith and power… between sacrifice and violence… between the Gospel and the systems that have weaponized it. From the Cave of Adullam to modern crusader ideology, this episode confronts a dangerous question: What happens when the Cross is no longer a symbol of sacrifice… but a justification for domination? This is not a sermon for comfort. This is a liturgy for the displaced, the questioning, and the spiritually awake. Turn off the lights. Lean into the discomfort. And listen closely.

    The Drag Queen at the Well | Drop the Jar

    In this episode of The Vault of the Sacred, Robert Jerome Pagan takes us back to the scene of the crime: a dusty well in Samaria at high noon. We summon the ghost of St. Photini—the woman the church calls a "whore," but whom Heaven calls an Apostle—and reveal her as the first Drag Queen of the Gospel.We perform a theological autopsy on "Purity Culture," exposing the "Whitewashed Tombs" of the modern Religious Right (specifically the hypocrisy of the Ziegler scandal) and contrasting their rotting secrets with the radical authenticity of the "messy" woman. Finally, we hold a solemn Necrology for Renee Nicole Good and the victims of the recent ICE crackdowns. The jar is heavy, beloved. It’s time to smash it. THE RECORD (Show Notes): Host/Celebrant: Robert Jerome PaganDate: January 15, 2026Scripture: John 4:1-42 (The Woman at the Well), Matthew 23:27 (Whitewashed Tombs).Saints Venerated: St. Photini (The Samaritan Woman), St. Renee Nicole Good (Martyr of Minneapolis).Key Topics:The "Read" as a spiritual gift.Deconstructing the "Five Husbands" myth.The Bridget/Christian Ziegler scandal & the theology of the "Prowl."The 2026 Necrology: Remembering Parady La, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Renee Nicole Good.Original Music By:  Robert and the Fairy Queer Parents.

    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.
