Pilgrimage to St. Thérèse explores queerness, AIDS and belonging
Original: Queerness, AIDS and belonging on a pilgrimage to St. Thérèse
A first-person reflection describes a pilgrimage to St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the beloved French Carmelite saint, weaving together themes of queerness, the AIDS crisis and the search for belonging in the Catholic Church. The writer frames the journey as both devotional and deeply personal, asking how LGBTQ Catholics find a home in a tradition that has often excluded them, and how saints like Thérèse speak to those marked by grief and loss.
Why now: The essay touches ongoing debates over LGBTQ inclusion in the Catholic Church, keeping such faith-and-identity reflections in circulation.
