We would rather be corrected than complimented.
This site is built in public. If you are qualified to check it, or you have found something wrong, please say so. Reports about safety content are read first.
This inbox is not monitored
Nobody here can respond in an emergency. If you are in danger or in crisis, please use the verified crisis lines instead of writing to us.
Crisis lines and immediate dangerWhat to send
Four kinds of message we act on
A correction
A misstated teaching, a wrong Catechism paragraph, a mistranslation, or a claim about a saint's life that the historical record does not support. Include the page and, if you can, the source.
A safety concern
Any sentence that could be read as telling someone to endure harm, to reconcile, to stay in danger, or to pray instead of getting help. These are fixed before anything else.
A resource listing
National services with a publicly documented remit, hours, and contact method. We cannot yet verify local listings at scale, so those wait until a verification process exists.
An offer to review
Tell us your role, your competence, and how much time you have. Reviewers are named on pages they approve, with the review date, unless they ask not to be.
Reviewers wanted
Who we are looking for
- 01
Priests, deacons, and theologians
To read teaching pages for accuracy, tone, and anything that reads as pastoral pressure rather than invitation. - 02
Canon lawyers
Particularly on annulment, marriage, and what a tribunal process actually involves for someone who is afraid. - 03
Safeguarding professionals
To check reporting guidance, the Church-abuse pages, and how we describe diocesan processes. - 04
Licensed clinicians
Trauma therapists especially, to check the healing pages against current clinical practice. - 05
Survivor advocates
To tell us where our language still centres the institution instead of the person harmed. - 06
Translators
Spanish first. Translation here needs pastoral judgement, not only fluency, so reviewed human translation only.
Honest limits
What we cannot do by email
- We cannot offer spiritual direction, counselling, or therapy, and we will not pretend to.
- We cannot hear a confession or convey absolution. That happens with a priest, in person.
- We cannot receive an abuse report on behalf of a diocese or act as a safeguarding authority. Reports go to civil authorities and to the diocesan safeguarding office.
- We cannot promise a reply, and we cannot guarantee that email is private on your device.
A contact form is not wired up in this prototype, because a form that quietly fails would be worse than none. When messaging exists it will state plainly who reads it, how long it is kept, and how to ask for it to be deleted.
