In Hot Holy Water: Feminist and Queer Theology with K Kriesel

Stephanie and Anne chat with a real live theologian to talk feminism and queer theology in the Catholic Church! The hosts welcome K Kriesel, a textile artist devoted to Mother Mary and queer feminism, who spills the tea about folk Catholicism, Catholic Womenpriests, and how Saint Sebastian became the patron saint of gay men.
