Disability Ministry or Modernist Distortion?
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 3, 2025) reports on a panel discussion organized by the National Catholic Partnership on Disability ahead of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The panelists, Sue Do and Kathleen Davis, shared experiences of exclusion and inclusion in parish life, emphasizing advocacy for “accessible spaces,” “adaptive catechesis,” and parish “buddy systems” to foster belonging. The article frames disability ministry through a lens of social accommodation, omitting any reference to the supernatural purpose of suffering or the necessity of sacramental grace.
