Sing, Companions, Sing

EQUALITY is 
"the state of having equal rights, 
opportunities, and treatment. 
It also means being supported to reach your potential."

St Paul taught​ (48AD):

 "There is neither Jew nor Greek,
slave nor free, male nor female,
for you are all one in Christ Jesus"   

Letter to the Galatians 3:28

So why can't everyone rejoice in their full potential in the Catholic Church?

Companions from Austria, Germany, Scotland and Ireland

Inspired by the faith and courage of many who went before us, 
we have been asking the Sacred Pastors to listen and act for 30 years on:  

1. Shared Decision Making

People without ordination must be equally represented at all levels and have a say in decision-making through appropriate democratic structures.

2. Full equality for all genders

The church needs the wealth of skills and vocations of women and non-binary people. This applies to all leadership positions.

3. Free choice between a celibate and non-celibate lifestyle

The link between the ordained ministry and celibacy is not biblically binding, but has grown historically and can therefore be changed.

4. Positive evaluation of sexuality

The responsible decision of conscience in questions of sexual morality (e.g. conception regulation and sexual identity and orientation) must be recognised.

5. Good news instead of a threatening message

Our Christian message prioritises helping and encouraging support and solidarity over fear-inducing and restrictive norms!
