Despite virulent opposition from both within and outside of the Church, Father Martin aims to reach out to this marginalized community with an attitude of love and grace versus the previous modus operandi of exclusion. With no less a goal than changing the face of Catholic dogma, witness the limits of allyship in the face of bureaucratic gridlock.
