A Martyr and a Monk is a bi-weekly podcast that takes a closer look at the lives and historical contexts of saints from around the world, whether they were born in the year 100 or in the year 2,000. Your hosts, Christina and Victoria, are sisters who identify as Roman Catholic and who have a spiritual and intellectual interest in the history of their faith and are intrigued by the different ways “saintly” behavior is understood in various places and times. Join them as they explore how extraordinary people became enshrined in the human story.
This week Christina tells the story of the first Black Catholic Priest in the United States.
