Reinstate Hans Kung 
as an official Catholic theologian

Hans Küng was one of the most important and respected Catholic theologians since Vatican II, but his license to teach as a Catholic theologian was revoked in 1979.  Sign a petition to Pope Francis asking him to correct this wrong by visiting here.

Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love) 

Call To Action released a statement on Pope Francis’ exhortation Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love)​ on the family and family life​. Read CTA's statement and comment here.

*** Action Alert! Stand with Church Workers ***

At the recent Call To Action Annual Conference over a thousand Catholics declared that unjust firings are not in line with our Catholic tradition and have no part in the future of our Church. The Catholic Church Worker Declaration, a document meant to bring Catholics together to stop these firings, was enthusiastically affirmed.

Be in solidarity with Church Workers by signing this petition affirming the declaration and calling for an end to discriminatory firings of Catholic Church Workers.​

Please invite friends, family, and members of the communities to which you belong to sign this petition. Together, we can rise up and say: no more unjust firings in our name! ​

Formulas & substitutions to help minimize the use of toxic substances & reduce environmental harm


​Dishwashing Soap
​

Commercial low-phosphate detergents are not themselves harmful, but phosphates nourish algae which use up oxygen in waterways. A detergent substitution is to use liquid soap. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of vinegar to the warm, soapy water for tough jobs.

 Sign the Council 50 Declaration

The Global Council Network invites Catholics to sign the Council 50 Declaration, which commits its signatories to work for change in the Church.  The declaration was produced at a conference last November after last fall’s synod demonstrated that bishops are unlikely to support real change in the Church: reform will have to come from the faithful.  You can read and sign the declaration here.
