PRESS RELEASE: Call To Action Supports LGBTQI Community Amidst Controversy

For Immediate Release: September 30

“Call To Action is troubled by today’s reports regarding a meeting between Pope Francis and Kim Davis, a polarizing elected official who has refused to obey the law and issue same-sex marriage licenses. Kim Davis’ understanding of Christianity and her vision of Church is not congruent with Call To Action’s mission to build a Catholic Church of inclusion and justice.

Call To Action will continue to stand with our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Intersex (LGBTQI) siblings to cultivate a Church in which all are welcome, embraced, and empowered for the gifts they offer the Catholic community. The strong majority of Catholic laity are joining with us to create inclusive communities of faith and justice,” says Jim FitzGerald, Executive Director.
