Inclusivity Over Doctrine: The Conciliar Sect’s Naturalistic Turn in Disability Ministry
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 13, 2026) reports that the National Catholic Partnership on Disability (NCPD) received a “service award” from the American Catholic Historical Association (ACHA) for promoting “inclusivity” in parish and school programs for disabled individuals. The award was presented during a panel discussion in Chicago, where speakers like NCPD Executive Director Charleen Katra and University of Southern Mississippi professor Leah Parker framed disability ministry through secularist concepts of “belonging” and “rights” while omitting the Church’s supernatural mission to save souls.
