North Americans invited to join CCRI for online gathering on Tuesday, May 9, 2023

From the CCRI https://catholicchurchreformintl.org/

There seems to be strong interest in reconvening our Region XVI U.S. gathering and discerning the issues we raised that have not been included in the US Continental Synod Report. The problem we face is clear: Referring to Sunday's Gospel, too many conservative bishops are the “gatekeepers” in full control of who was and wasn’t invited to participate in this Synod. And, all too often, our progressive voices were not allowed through the gate. As Eileen Mathy said: “We must exercise whatever voices we are granted for as long as we can. I do believe that persistence will make a difference.” And as Kathleen Chafin said: “We have more power than we think. Doing nothing gets nothing. If we truly believe in our concerns we have to work towards change without regard to ‘winning or losing.’” 

All who are interested are invited to gather online on Tuesday, May 9, at 1:00 pm Eastern time, noon Central time, 11:00 am Mountain time, and 10:00 Pacific time. To access this session, click on https://zoom.us/j/2429500175. Password is spirit. Please pass this word onto your networks.
