"I saw incarnate in BCF and what you are trying to do my own thoughts in the flesh and best articulated. Like Keith, I want to change the game from 'politicized ministry' to 'apostolates that rise above'. Ministries that are serious about winning souls and forming disciples, and not holding tanks for disaffected Catholics. I want to integrate and not isolate, which means that if the real mission of the Church is to make disciples, then our LGBT groups have to strive to do the same."
-- Fr Matt Beuning, Archdiocese of Baltimore
"Building Catholic Futures is a perfect name for this effort. And the work BCF does leaves me optimistic about the future of our Church in the way we are called to serve the marginalized. Their presentations at Aquinas Institute left us all feeling energized about the possibilities we have."
-- Fr. Patrick Baikauskas, O.P., VP of Institutional Advancement and Director of the Center for Community Engagement and Evangelization, St Louis, MO
"As the pastor of an urban parish where people look at the Church's teaching from wide perspectives, I found collaboration with Building Catholic Futures extremely helpful. We hosted a Scripture-focused event that gave our parishioners new ways to read classic stories like the Raising of Lazarus, and to be inspired and energized to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church. Building Catholic Futures brings a new perspective to a discussion that I think otherwise falls into predictable and fruitless routines, and they do so with wisdom, courage, humility and integrity."
-- Fr Aaron Nord, Archdiocese of St Louis
"The more time I spend with Christian sexual minorities who uphold the traditional sexual ethic, the more convinced I become that they have a unique prophetic vocation the Church has largely overlooked. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of Eve's and BCF’s work in transforming a toxic conversation into one that could help heal the Body of Christ. It would have made all the difference to me and my family to have had this resource to learn from, even before we realized these issues touched us personally. I pray that it may be disseminated throughout the Christian world and bear glorious fruit!"
