Vatican includes LGBT Catholic event in 2025 Holy Year calendar, signaling inclusivity push.

The Vatican has included an event by LGBT Catholics on its official calendar for the 2025 Roman Catholic Holy Year, marking a significant step towards inclusivity. The Italian group "La Tenda di Gionata" will organize a pilgrimage in September, though the Vatican clarified it does not sponsor the event. This move reflects Pope Francis's efforts to extend pastoral care to marginalized groups, with around 32 million tourists expected to visit Rome during the Holy Year.
