Assisi interreligious event and LGBTQ Confiteor draw Catholic criticism

LifeSite·27 October 2026

A LifeSite video reports that SSPX Bishop Michael Galdy has condemned the Vatican's Assisi interreligious gathering as a "great scandal" for placing other religions alongside the Catholic Church. It also covers a rewritten Confiteor invoking "queer saints" from Fr James Martin's Outreach ministry, and criticism of a Catholic award to an abortion-rights supporter. These are the claims of a critical outlet, but the dispute shows pressure inside Christianity over exclusive claims about Christ, which Scripture states in John 14:6 and Acts 4:12, as interfaith unity gains institutional weight.
