Rome Meetings Clarification
We Are Church International wish to make it clear that we have not beeninvited to meet with Pope Leo XlV in October as reported in some media.
We applied to take part in the Jubilee of the Synod Teams 24-26 October2025 in Rome as anotherparticipating organization.
We were pleasedthat our registration was accepted upon submission. To us, this is a positivesign that confirms the Church is listening to everyone.
Along with manyhundreds of delegates from around the world we look forward to hearing Pope LeoXlV deliver his address. But we are clear that no special meeting will takeplace with the pope and our group.

The Vatican shared that representatives from the group will “meet with Pope Leo XIV and walk through the Holy Gate” as part of the Holy Year’s celebrations.
We Are Church International (WAC) confirmed to PinkNews that they will be participating in the Jubilee of Synodal Teams, held from 24 – 26 October 2025, as “another participating organisation”.
I think this is a positive first step in fostering a Church for all.
My question is: does this invitation include a delegation from our international Roman Catholic Women Priests Movement- ARCWP/RCWP?
In 2023, I was one of the ordained members of our movement who presented a talk on the women priests' movement at the Alternative Synod in Rome sponsored by We Are Church International.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to see a delegation from our movement participate in this Jubilee Celebration?
Your thoughts......
