from 2021-03-30T07:00
Welcome to Have a Blessed Gay, your weekly spiritual-comedy podcast! Join holy host, Tyler Martin, as he critically discusses social norms, current events, mental health, religion, and spirituality from an outcast's perspective. In this week’s episode, Tyler is taking a deep dive into the history of the Catholic Church and it’s relationship with homosexuality. Because the history is so intricate, this shall be a two part episode. In this first part, Tyler examines Pope Francis’ personal theology surrounding homosexuality and marriage equality, and the recent decree regarding civil unions issued by the Vatican. Then, to help us have a better understanding of their reasoning, Tyler takes us back in history to the beginning of the church, looking at the Catholic Church’s history with society, government, marriage, economics, and sexual morality. The Catholic Church is the world's oldest and largest continuously functioning international institution, an institution that has majorly shaped our modern society. In order to combat the things that are unjust, we have to learn the history and how we might be indirectly or directly supporting an abusive system. Let’s deconstruct and learn together!
