Welcome to our final episode for the first half of season 4 of Queer PoliFaith. Today, I am reading reactions from religious leaders to the seditious traitors EOs and actions. Below, you will find each of the reactions in the order I read them. I don't do any commentary, just an introduction to each one. I do stop reading Pope Francis' letter at a couple of points to define words that may be unfamiliar to people.
