Pittsburgh ‘Pride Mass’ Canceled After Bishop’s Letter Disavows Event

Washington D.C., Jun 14, 2023 / 10:30 am An event advertised as a “Pride Mass” scheduled to take place on the feast of Corpus Christi at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University was canceled after the diocese’s bishop, David Zubik, disavowed the event in a letter sent May 31.

The event was canceled by university officials, according to WESA, Pittsburgh’s NPR station.

Representatives from the private Catholic university declined to confirm with CNA if they were responsible for canceling the event. Instead, university officials forwarded Zubik’s letter that requested the Mass be canceled in light of the controversy.

The Mass to which LGBTQ Catholics, families, and “allies” were invited was set to take place in Duquesne’s Holy Spirit Chapel on Sunday.

According to a flier advertising the event, it was organized by Catholics for Change in Our Church (CCOC) in conjunction with various other groups including Pittsburgh parish LGBTQ ministries at St. Mary Magdalene and St. Joseph the Worker churches.

After word broke of the planned Pride Mass, a significant backlash erupted, culminating in Zubik’s letter, which was sent to priests, deacons, and seminarians of the diocese.

WTF is a Pride Mass?

We’re hanging on by threads... and it’s the minority of truly brave individuals that are forestalling a devastating moral implosion.

God help us!
