The ACP says that it accepts the Creed and that it does not seek to overturn the defined teaching of the Catholic Church but these are questionable claims given its attempts to undermine settled Church teaching on issues like adultery and contraception. The organisation took a neutral stance in Ireland's 2015 gay marriage referendum and 2018 abortion referendum. During the latter referendum, the ACP spoke out against priests allowing 'No' campaigners to address congregations during Mass.
