Horrified by Catholic leaders’ silence in the wake of the Pulse nightclub massacre, Father James Martin writes a widely acclaimed book and tours the country speaking with the news media, local parishes and LGBTQ+ Catholics with his message of “compassion, respect, and sensitivity”. The film follows Father Martin and the lives he has positively impacted: a grieving Pulse mother, a family with three queer siblings, and a college student trying to reconcile his gay and Catholic identities. Despite the online attacks from Michael Voris and his alt-right media empire and his own personal struggles, Father Martin still reaches hundreds of thousands of people with his message across the country and world.
