Why the local Bishop should still be the arbiter of whether two baptised Christians in a loving relationship can marry each other in church unless these 'promises' are given is incredible in this day and age.

A church filled with love has no room for exclusion.

Our Main Aims 


We Are Church Ireland (WAC Ireland) is a group of concerned Irish Catholics committed to the renewal of the Roman Catholic Church on the basis of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and the theological spirit developed from it. We are working to develop inclusive communities based on our 6 Aims, while being open to engage with all sections of the church about our lives in the church today. This we feel is essential if we are to leave a healthy, vibrant living church relevant to our world to our children and grandchildren.

Equality of all the baptised where decision making is actively shared by all, with appropriate structures for this.

Full participation of women in all aspects of church life, including priesthood.

3

4

An inclusive church, open and welcoming to all, which does not marginalise people because of their sexual orientation, marital status or for any other reason.

A church that is fully committed to justice and equality; prioritising the vulnerable and deprived in society
