LGBTQ advocate Jeannine Gramick speaks about meeting Pope Francis

In a special episode of "The Vatican Briefing," Vatican experts Joshua McElwee and Christopher White have an exclusive conversation with Loretto Sr. Jeannine Gramick about her historic meeting with Pope Francis. Gramick, a longtime advocate for LGBTQ Catholics, has long operated at the margins of the global Catholic Church. But on Oct. 17, she was welcomed into the Vatican for an historic 50-minute meeting with Francis. The pope, says Gramick, "has a warmth and a wanting to embrace everyone, not just LGBT people but those who have been shunned by society and the church." Francis, she says, "is trying to get us to move forward." Please support this podcast by joining NCR Forward, National Catholic Reporter's membership program.
