Reform group urges ‘holy disobedience’

AN organisation of Catholics opposed to the direction of the Church under Pope Benedict XVI has called on other followers to engage in a campaign of “holy disobedience”.

The group We Are Church is formally re-launching after 14 years in existence. It expressed deep concern about the intransigence of the Pope in addressing the need for major reform in the Church.

It claimed the forced imposition of the new Roman missal, in the face of strong reservations from groups like the Association of Catholic Priests, was further evidence of such intransigence.
