Pope Francis & The Call for Reform
Many Catholics have difficulty engaging their bishops in dialogue. Catholic Church Reform (CCR), a worldwide network of persons and groups interested in reform of the Catholic Church, is encouraging Pope Francis to further greater dialogue between the hierarchy and laity. CCR has written to the Pope suggesting he direct bishops to create diocesan synods, pastoral councils or similar steps to facilitate that dialogue. Call to Action – Madison Area is a signer of this letter. Individuals also wishing to sign can do so at: http://www.catholicchurchreform.com/letterNew2.html.
This is the second letter that CCR has sent to the Pope. A letter sent in September, prior to the first meeting of Francis with his newly-appointed group of Cardinal advisers, asked for greater participation of all the baptized, specifically the laity, in church governance. That letter is available online at: http://www.catholicchurchreform.com/letterNew.html.
CTA – Madison Area was one of many organizations signing that initial letter. Groups signing the first letter are listed at: http://www.catholicchurchreform.com/reformGroups.html_
