Synod Assembly 2024 Document Instrumentum Laboris Calls For, and Limits, Profound Changes in Catholic Church, Says LGBTQIA+ Catholic Group
The Instrumentum Laboris for the October 2024 Assembly, entitled “How to be a missionary synodal Church” calls for significant changes in the Catholic Church and simultaneously maintains rules that limit future possibilities, according to leaders of DignityUSA, the world’s oldest organization of Catholics working for the equality of LGBTQIA+ people in the church and society.

Today’s reflection reminds us that speaking against the accepted evils of our day can seem crazy to some, but if we seek to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, it is just this type of crazy courage that can be required.
