Diversity and Inclusion in the Catholic Church?

The buzz words in the world today are “diversity” and “inclusion” and these worldly buzz words seem rather prominent in the contemporary Catholic Church. The documents on the synod for synodality are oozing with calls for diversity and inclusion

As usual, there is a lot of sentimentality loaded with these terms. There is also a lot of emotional blackmail, unspoken implications, subtexts and connotations and underlying assumptions. The underlying assumption is that the Catholic Church is somehow exclusive and monochrome. Another underlying assumption is that the Catholic Church is racist and mean to LGBTQ people.

Perhaps I am wrong in spotting these implied meanings and underlying assumptions, and if I am, I’m happy to be corrected, but if we’re told the church needs to be more inclusive and diverse we must conclude that those who are making these calls do, in fact, assume that the church is NOT already inclusive and diverse.

Praise the Lord
