We are faithful Catholics who show why the exclusion of women from priesthood is wrong. We raise awareness and facilitate informed discussion about women's ordination. We work for reform from the centre of the Church. We do not promote the illegal ordination of women.
We love our family, the Catholic Church. We
fully accept the authority of the Pope. We respect his personal integrity as an
outstanding spiritual leader. But we are convinced that the Pope and his
advisors in Rome are making a serious mistake by dismissing women as priests.
We feel obliged in conscience to make our carefully considered reasons known,
fulfilling our duty to speak out as our present Pope has
repeatedly told us to do.
“All the faithful, both
clerical and lay, should be accorded a lawful freedom of inquiry, freedom of
thought and freedom of expression.”
