A COMMUNITY FOR REFORM IN THE

Root & Branch works for
a safe, just and inclusive Roman Catholic Church.

will follow.” Joan Chittister.

journey to freedom
Root & Branch's last talk of 2024 was "so amazingly inspirational"
Here's what some of us had to say
" We've just heard a story of spiritual, emotional,
physical and institutional abuse"
"For someone who has not heard much of this before,
I find it all very shocking"
"Collusion is not an option"
and a suggestion " Look up a new Dutch group - Ekklesia Sophia"

Here's what some of us had to say
"Stimulating conversations"
"All our speakers so inspiring -thank you"
"We must keep in mind that we do what we do for the world"
"This is a complex issue with so many facets: you always manage to accommodate so many voices with great car, respect and efficiency"
"We need to challenge the voice given to the unaccountable clerical caste. Work for the removal of obstacles to serving marginalised"
"The church is appearing to change, in order to stay the same! "
