Who are Catholics for Ministry? We are a group of Catholics hopeful about the future of the Church. We maintain that 16,746 Mass-going Catholics can’t all be wrong. That is the number of people who signed a petition to the Catholic Bishops of Australia asking them to…
- Acknowledge that there is a major crisis in ministry within the Australian Church
- Acknowledge that there is no doctrinal barrier to the ordination of married men
- Take practical steps toward ordaining suitably qualified married men
- Encourage discussion of the role of women in ministry and in the authority structures of the Church,
- Encourage discussion of the question of women's ordination
- Establish appropriate training programs to prepare people for ministry
- Invite priests who have left the ministry to return to active priesthood
Catholics for Ministry don’t just talk about what’s wrong in Catholicism today. We are doing something about it.
