WAC members call to Bishops to open all
ministries to women.
We Are Church Ireland is being represented at the “Voices of Faith”
conference in Rome on March 8th by Ursula Halligan at which Mary
McAleese will be the keynote speaker.
The theme of the meeting is “Why Women Matter” and the international
conference coincides with International Women’s Day.
On March 8 We Are Church Ireland is urging all its members to contact
their local Bishops demanding, as a matter of justice, that all ministries in
the Catholic Church be finally opened to women.
“The continued exclusion of women from all ministries including the
priesthood and from executive functions in the Catholic Church is
an injustice that must be ended. How can our Church continue to proclaim
global justice for the marginalised when it accepts an injustice within the
Church that marginalises half of its own members” stated Brendan Butler.
