Be the change you want to see. There is no fun in keeping quiet about the problems you know should be fixed. Looking the other way is never the solution as it doesn’t get rid of the issue, only prolongs it.
Ignoring the issue at hand only makes it worse for the person who faces it next. Voices of Faith is taking a stand, a stand against gender discrimination in the Catholic Church. We think it is time that Catholics speak up about the changes they want to see in the Catholic Church.
We are bringing religious women from around the world to talk about this issue and put a stop to the long ongoing abuse of power.
It’s shocking to see that even in today’s modern era, women are not in positions of power alongside men. To date, no religious sister has ever been able to vote at Synods convened by any Pope, only Bishops. There reason is unknown…
You tell us, is it fair that sisters with the same skill-set, knowledge, and capabilities as our religious brothers are not given the right to vote at these Synods? No, right!
Voices of Faith is bringing a tide of change. We are organizing an event in Rome on the 3rd of October this year. Our motive behind this is to listen to what religious sisters from across the globe have to say about women in leadership and decision-making roles.
We want sisters to come together and discuss solutions for changing the current situation. It will bring us closer to one of our goals – to see sisters cast their first-ever vote in the upcoming Synod of Bishops in Amazonia.
Every opinion counts. So, share your views on what a Catholic Church should look like in the future.
Are you in Rome and want to attend this event? You need to register with us by the 15th of September to reserve your seat by emailing us at zuzanna.flisowska@voicesoffaith.org.
Don’t worry if you can’t be physically present to be a part of this event, you can live-stream it and witness sisters openly talk about power abuse and ways to end it once and for all!
