Dissidents Call for Support of Fr. Roy Bourgeois

"Catholic" Action Network, a dissenting local St Louis group of self-professed Catholics who defiantly reject numerous teachings of the Church, has called for an email campaign in support of Fr. Roy Bourgeois, the Maryknoll priest who "celebrated" at liturgy at an "ordination" of a priestette in Lexington, Kentucky recently...See here, here and here.

Call to Action Alert

Fr. Roy Bourgeois of the School of the America's Watch (SOA Watch) has been called to a meeting of his superiors after he co-celebrated and gave the homily at a woman's ordination in Lexington, Kentucky. It is likely to be a "disciplinary" meeting.

Call To Action has always supported Fr. Roy and his work in closing down the SOA that trains soldiers in human rights abuses. Today, we stand again in solidarity with Fr. Roy as he seeks to end discrimination against women in the church.

Write Fr. Roy's superiors now and urge them to support Fr. Roy and women's equality in our church:

Email: Superior General John Sivalon -- jsivalon@maryknoll.org
Email: The Maryknoll Council -- mklcouncil@maryknoll.org

Or send a letter to:
Maryknoll Council
P.O. Box 303
Maryknoll, NY 10545

When we spoke with Fr. Roy this afternoon he said that the priests of Maryknoll "have been working for many years on these issues of justice and this is another issue of justice."

Support Fr. Roy and the movement for women's equality in the church. Email or write his superiors today.

Would it not be fitting, given this recent "call to action" by an openly dissenting group, for faithful Catholics to charitably write these same Marykoll superiors?
