Why we dare challenge the Teaching Authority

Culture Shift

The ordination of women belongs to the type of ‘doctrine’ liable to distortion by cultural perceptions.

The Facts

The theological reasons for excluding women from holy orders contradict Scripture, Tradition and Theology.

Lessons from History

The teaching authority has made many serious mistakes in similar cases of presumed ‘doctrine’.

True Loyalty

Theologians and the faithful have a duty in conscience to voice their disagreement with the defence of unfounded ‘doctrine’.

Sense of Faith

As carriers of inerrancy the faithful reject the exclusion of women from the sacred ministries.

The ORDINATION OF WOMEN in the Catholic Church

We hope that you have found this document helpful. It costs our small charity on average £10 / $20 / Euro15 to make such a document freely available to you. This is because we have to identify the best scholarship available, retrieve texts, obtain permissions, scan, edit, link and convert documents to html format and run a small office base to make this all possible. We can do this only because we are run almost entirely by volunteers. Please help us build our online library of resources so that more people can access the debate and make up their own minds about women priests. Having benefited from the online library, any donation, small or large, that you can make to support our work would be gratefully appreciated. Click here to learn how to make a donation now.
