From clerical closet to coming out: a recorded conversation with (Father) Danny Peterson

"I found leaving the priesthood and leaving active ministry as a response to God's grace and faith."
4

In this three-part recorded conversation, I speak with Danny Peterson about what leads priests to Grindr. We talk about his own history as a Catholic priest, how he was referred for conversion therapy by the Franciscans, how McCarrick was able to operate in his diocese, coming to terms with his own double life, and what it means for him to flourish today. Please note that this conversation has some adult language and themes and may not be suitable for young children.

The next part will be released next week. Paying subscribers can get early access here.
