Audible Studios invite multi-award-winning journalist and author Mark Dowd to discuss his captivating new audiobook Queer and Catholic: A Life of Contradiction. He addresses the shroud of secrecy which surrounds gay priests in the Catholic Church and his personal experience of it after having trained at the Dominican Order in Blackfriars, Oxford. A passionate environmentalist, he also discusses the importance of uniting as one in an effort to combat global warming.

This superb memoir of a gay working-class boy from Manchester exploring how to reconcile his sexuality with his Catholicism is all the more powerful because of his deep knowledge of and commitment to his faith. Spanning the late 1960s to the present day, Mark Dowd's Queer and Catholic chronicles a changing attitude to same-sex attraction over more than half a century and is packed with stories in turn funny, deeply moving and spiritually insightful.
