Bp Artur Ważny leads panel on sexuality and relationships for clergy

In brief

Bishop Artur Ważny will lead a special panel for priests at the Body to Love Congress in Sosnowiec on October 23. The session aims to help clergy discuss sexuality, marriage, and relationships without treating people as problems to be solved.

The Diocese of Sosnowiec stated that the panel will move beyond teaching Church norms to focus on how priests can apply theological knowledge during personal encounters. Participants will discuss topics including marriage, sexuality, confession, and supporting individuals navigating their own life paths. Bishop Ważny noted that questions about sexuality often lead to deeper conversations regarding loneliness, marriage, and personal history. He emphasized that priests must listen and accompany people so that truth and love remain connected.
