Catholics in the Conservative Party (CITCP) is an organisation within the British Conservative Party which promotes the interests of Catholics in the United Kingdom, and their participation to public life.[1]
Established in 2019, and originally chaired by Andrew Cusack and Frances Lasok,[2] CITCP helps with encouraging the participation of Catholics within the Conservative Party, canvassing for Catholic candidates during local and national elections, and promoting causes which directly affect the United Kingdom's Catholic population.[3]
Since its official launch in January 2023, with an event attended by Sir Iain Duncan Smith and Damian Hinds and featuring Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg as a speaker,[4][5] CITCP organises events for Catholic members, supporters, and voters of the Conservative Party within the United Kingdom,[6] including events within Parliament, alongside groups such as Catholics for Labour, and prayer breakfast events with politicians such as Lord Greenhalgh.[7][8] Moreover, the group has established itself as a stakeholder in discussions over the engagement of Catholic faithful in politics in the UK,[9] in accordance with the multiple exortations of the Catholic Church in this sense.[10][11]
The group has been featured regularly with events at the Conservative Party Conference since its foundation.[12]
Organisation
[edit]The President of Catholics in the Conservative Party is Sir Julian Brazier, former Conservative Member of Parliament for Canterbury.[13]
