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.
Excellent

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.

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.
