Welcome to Catholic Not Fascist! A Podcast where we acknowledge both the love and sins of the Church including strength and weaknesses within our own humanity as we step out on a path toward atonement with an open mind and heart full of joy. We are speaking from the pews and do not claim to hold theology degrees. Rather we are simply parishioners who are fed up with white christian nationalism plaguing our church. Join us- Be Catholic! Not Fascist!
