FutureChurch resists Cleveland diocese ban
Shortly before Cleveland Bishop Anthony Pilla’s ad limina visit to Rome, his diocese published a memo saying it is “inappropriate” for FutureChurch (FC) to continue having programs on church premises because the group is “promoting an agenda not consistent with Church teaching.” FC and its director, Chris Schenk, have been the target of escalating attacks by right-wing groups because of successful national programs in partnership with CTA, such as Optional Celibacy and Mary of Magdala celebrations. An article last fall by Donna Steichen in The Latin Mass magazine called FutureChurch part of “a pagan goddess movement.”
There is a silver lining. FC has lost no members, and even picked up a lot of new ones in Northeast Ohio. Several Catholic organizations offered to host FC programs. FC has about 800 members in the diocese and 5,000 nationally. Its leaders still hope to find a way to peacefully coexist in a diocese that until now has permitted a broad diversity of discussion on church premises.
