Vatican hosts LGBTQ+ Catholics for event
SUMMARY
The Vatican hosts a significant event on September 5, welcoming LGBTQ+ Catholics for an international meeting titled “Listening to the experiences of LGBTQ Catholics,” organized by the Christian association “La Tenda di Gionata” (”The Tent of Jonathan”) and the American group Outreach, founded by Jesuit Father James Martin. Attendees from various nations share personal stories, signaling Vatican openness.
That evening, a prayer vigil at Rome’s Gesu Church, themed “Church – a home for all. Starting from the borders,” includes LGBTQ+ Christians and their families. A rainbow cross, carried by pilgrims along the Via Francigena, is presented. On September 6, Bishop Francesco Savino leads a Mass at Gesu Church, followed by a Jubilee Pilgrimage to St. Peter’s Basilica’s Holy Door with over 1,000 participants.
The Vatican states anyone can join pilgrimages and that the LGBTQ+ group is neither Vatican-sponsored nor endorsed. However, the Vatican will host the group and includes them in its official schedule.
