Cardinal McCarrick to host a "listening session" with Rainbow Sash Movement"

A Listening Session is an ancient practice of the Catholic Church. The
goal is to listen to the faithful, thereby trying to determine the parishioners' pastoral needs. In Catholic Teaching this is referred to as a "Sense of the Faithful."

Murray (Joe Murray, spokesperson for the Rainbow Sash Movement) further stated, "From my vantage point, we do a lot better to prefer persuasion over mandate; dialogue over dictate."
