28 James Alison - The Ecclesiastical Mechanism is Run by the Closet (Short Version)

Being an openly gay priest wasn't always a challenge like it became in the 80ies. The Church had changed as did the attitude towards the whole topic of LGBT people. But James didn't back out. James talks about his journey to becoming a priest and what is happening within the church.  This episode gives some insights into what happened, what is happening,  an interesting story of an encounter with Pope Francis... More to come in the second part with James Alison next Monday.    LINKS: The Priceless Podcast   Support the podcast   The European Forum of LGBT Christian Groups   Support the EU Forum      James Alison: Webpage: http://jamesalison.com/   Books: http://jamesalison.com/en/books/
