The Association of United States Catholic Priests (AUSCP) bills itself as the largest organized group of Catholic priests in the US. The Lepanto Institute has been monitoring the AUSCP’s activities and gatherings since 2017 and has found the organization promoting women’s ordination, homosexualism, dissident views on sexual morality, and heretical teaching on the Eucharist and other points of Catholic doctrine.
