Group of lay Catholics fight for their faith by having their voices heard

A group of lay Catholics are fighting for their faith using their strongest weapon — their voice.

Catholic Comment is an organisation of ordinary Catholics who are offering themselves as contributors to media debates on developments within the Church and on social and moral issues in general.

Some might say that’s offering themselves as lambs to the slaughter, given the intense scrutiny and criticism the Catholic Church has faced in recent times. But co-ordinator Petra Conroy says that’s exactly what inspired the group to form.
