Pope Francis has approved a pilgrimage for people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual as part of the Jubilee 2025 celebrations.
On September 5 there will be a prayer vigil for members of the LGBT+ community and their families in Il Gesù, the Baroque Jesuit mother church in Rome and the burial place of St Ignatius of Loyola, the 16th century founder of the Jesuits.
On the afternoon of the following day, the LGBT+ pilgrims will pass through the Holy Door of St Peter’s Basilica, according to Il Messaggero.
