James Martin
James Martin, SJ, is a Jesuit priest, bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine, as well as founder of Outreach, a website devoted to LGBTQ+ Catholic ministry. His public role centers on writing, media commentary and pastoral advocacy rather than teaching a specific contemplative technique, and his stance on LGBTQ+ inclusion has drawn sustained criticism from some conservative bishops and commentators, criticism he has consistently framed as a pastoral rather than doctrinal disagreement.
He remains an active, high-profile voice within American Catholicism, appearing widely in print, broadcast and online media; he met with Pope Leo XIV in September 2025.
