This is no longer your grandmother's Catholic Church, but one that is increasingly multicultural and non-European, with fewer ordained priests every year. Part 2 of a 5-part series on the Catholic diaspora.

Independent Catholicism (also known as Contemporary Catholicism) includes individuals who self-identify as Catholic without necessarily going through the official catechism classes required by the Roman Catholic Church.

This community is dedicated to discussing and exploring the diverse world of Independent Catholicism, including its commitment to inclusivity and acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals.

Independent Catholicism encompasses a variety of small, autonomous churches that identify as Catholic but operate outside the governance of the Roman Catholic Church and other mainstream Catholic bodies.

These churches often retain traditional Catholic liturgical practices, sacraments, and apostolic succession while embracing their own governance structures, theological perspectives, and a progressive approach to social issues, including full acceptance and support of LGBTQ+ members.

Whether you’re interested in the liturgical richness, the inclusive values, or the unique expressions of faith found within Independent Catholicism, this forum is your space to connect, learn, and share.

Join us in celebrating the diversity of Catholic belief and practice, and in building a supportive, inclusive community for all who are part of or curious about the Independent Catholic movement.
