Saint Joseph and the Transgender Parent
by Antinoë Magdalene • • 0 Comments
Today is 19 March, the Feast Day of Saint Joseph. I’ve long been fascinated with Joseph. Growing up Roman Catholic, I remember being taught he was the foster father of Jesus as GOD was the actual father of Jesus.

My Church! My Church! Why have you forsaken me?
