Campus leaders comment on Pope’s message of same-sex civil unions

We need to have this conversation because it’s relevant for so many students. While students will have differing opinions on the topic, one point remains clear: LGBTQ+ youth, especially those of faith, should have a place where they feel like they belong.

The Catholic Church is known for being conservative about social justice topics like same-sex relationships.
