New signs of openness in the Catholic Church

  • With 1.3 billion people baptized Catholic world-wide, the Catholic Church has significant cultural reach.
  • Catholic Church leaders have been asked by people around the world supporting the Equal Future Campaign to consider the role that the church’s teaching on LGBT has had in giving children and young people the feeling that being LGBT would be a misfortune or a disappointment.
  • There was a Synod, or meeting, in October 2018 that was concerned about young people facing exclusion for social or religious reasons – not just young Catholics, but all young people, without exception.
  • You can find the results of our polling of 50% of the world’s Catholic population here.
  • Pope Francis, leader of the Catholic Church, issued a teaching document to follow up the Synod on Young People on on April 2, 2019. You can read our reaction to that document here.
