The Illegal Alien Christ (A Mass for the Fugitive)


Listen Later

"They tell you God is a citizen. A patriot. A man with papers. We know better."

Welcome to the sanctuary of the unwanted. In this 18-minute "Fast Mass," Catholic Minister Robert Jerome Pagan strips away the "Hallmark" version of the Gospel to reveal a Savior on the run.

From the boarded-up backrooms of the Sonoran desert to the "icebox" cells of detention centers, we find the Illegal Alien Christ. This isn't just a podcast; it’s a clandestine liturgy for the exiles, the queer, the brown, and the broken who are tired of the "Judgment of Other Eyes."

The 18-Minute Liturgy:
  • The Cold Open: Sanctuary for the unwanted.
  • The Police Report: A noir reading of Matthew Chapter 2.
  • The Homily: Identifying the "Illegal" God in our midst.
  • The Litany of the Border: A prayer to tear down the walls.
  • The Dismissal: A charge to defend the vulnerable.
No judgment. No hiding. 18 minutes of Grace.
