THE CATHOLIC COMPASS

Accessibility

Effective 14 October 2026

1. Our aim

The Catholic Compass aims to make Catholic writing and reflection usable by people with disabilities, including people who use screen readers, keyboards, magnification, or mobile devices. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as a design and improvement target. This is an accessibility statement, not a claim of certified or complete conformance.

2. Using the website

Pages provide a skip-to-content link, descriptive navigation, headings, visible keyboard focus, and layouts that adapt to smaller screens. Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move through links and controls and Enter to activate links. Your browser’s zoom and text-size settings can help enlarge content. The main language is English. Policy pages use a plain background, readable line lengths, and section links.

3. Known limitations

Older or author-formatted articles may contain complex tables, formatting, quotations, or links that need accessibility improvements. Linked third-party videos and websites may not offer accurate captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, or accessible controls. Author editing tools and third-party sign-in may have additional limitations. We have not completed a comprehensive independent audit across every browser and assistive technology.

4. Request help or report a barrier

Email simsuid@gmail.com with the subject Accessibility. Please include the page address, the task you could not complete, a brief description of the difficulty, and, if helpful, your browser or assistive technology. You do not need to disclose a diagnosis. You may request an alternative way to access a particular article or contact the author. We will review requests and seek a practical solution, but cannot guarantee a fixed response time or control third-party services.

5. Ongoing improvements

Accessibility needs can change as content and tools evolve. We use feedback to identify barriers and prioritize improvements. This statement will be updated when relevant findings or features change. If an external source is inaccessible, tell us which article or resource you need so we can consider an alternative.
