Am I the only one who has serious reservations about this? A quick check of The Lilly Endowment website shows it touting its commitment & grants to entities that support "Pride" ideology & its dissemination among faith "communities," including Catholic churches. What kind of DEI groveling did the ecclesiastical applicants have to do to get the grants? A good bishop wouldn't farm out homiletics training to leftists in exchange for money.
