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. This poses tremendous challenges for those who are part of the Assembly and for the larger church, says DignityUSA.
