It is time for an inclusive Roman Catholic Church where all are welcome at the table

(http://www.romancatholicwomenpriests.org/RCWP_Resource.pdf). In our mission statement we clearly uphold the following: "The goal of the group ‘RC Womenpriests’ is to bring about the full equality of women in the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time we are striving for a new model of Priestly Ministry. The movement ‘RC Womenpriests’ does not perceive itself as a counter-current movement against the Roman Catholic Church. It wants neither a schism nor a break from the Roman Catholic Church, but rather wants to work positively within the Church.” We All are church, not just some. We reflect the people we serve: married, celibate, domestic partners, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and transgendered. The Catholic Church teaches that a law must be received by the faithful. Seventy percent of Catholics in the U.S. support women’s ordination. Therefore canon 1024 which states that only a baptized male may receive Holy Orders does not have the force of law because it has not been accepted by the community or sensus fidelum. In fact, we have a moral obligation to disobey this unjust law. St. Augustinetaught that an unjust law is no law at all. As Cardinal Walter Kasper, the former bishop of Rottenberg-Stuttgar, Germany and current president of the Vatican 's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity wrote: "Some situations oblige one to obey God and one's own conscience, rather than the leaders of the church. Indeed, one may even be obliged to accept excommunication, rather than act against one's conscience." It is time for an inclusive church, in which all are welcome at the table.”
