THE SYNODAL PATHWAY
The Declaration of a 'Synodal Pathway' - a journey towards a Synodal Assembly for the Catholic Church in Ireland (March 10 2021) may mark a watershed in its history - if it fulfils the promise of a return to dialogue and the task of renewal.
Apprised of ACI's concerns in 2019 for the slow progress of co-responsibility and faith formation at parish level, the Irish Bishops Conference has assured ACI that our submissions to it in 2019 - centred on the Baptismal Common Priesthood of the People of God - will be included in the Irish Synodal Pathway deliberative process.
The following documents were submitted to the ICBC, by the ACI Steering Group, for consideration at its autumn meeting in Maynooth beginning on October 1st, 2019.
The Common Priesthood of the People of God and the Renewal of the Church
It was Catholic parents who educated Catholic Bishops on the paramountcy of the obligation of safeguarding children in the church
Jesus as Model for the Common Priesthood of the People of God
It was for challenging religious hypocrisy and injustice that Jesus was accused and crucified. He is therefore a model for the common priesthood of the laity and for the challenging of injustice - in society and within the church.
A Suggested Strategy for the Recovery of the Irish and Western Catholic Church
Recovery of the church depends upon acknowledgment of the indispensable role of the common priesthood of the lay people of God and the explicit abandonment by bishops and clergy of paternalism and clericalism - the expectation of deference from lay people rather than honesty and integrity.
