Roman Catholic
activist
group founded in
1976
after the "historic"
American
bishop
s
council
"
Call to Action
."
Call to Action's (
CTA
) mission is the complete transformation of
Catholicism
according to what may be perceived as the needs of
postmodern
society
(if "
postmodernism
" has a definition in itself.) CTA includes
progressive
lay
people,
liberal
academic
s, male and female
religious
, and
clergymen
. All share this perception that the
Roman Church
is lacking direction in these areas:
1. Absence of a
democratic
government
. CTA members find the
papal
"
monarchy
" repulsive since it does not mesh well with current democratic ideals in
western
society. CTA would rather see more
collegiality
with
prelate
s.
2. Absence of gender-fair
ordination
. CTA desperately would like to see women ordained as
priest
s. Undaunted by recent
Vatican
proclamations declaring the issue of women's ordination permanently closed, CTA continues to advance academic and pragmatic arguments as to why women deserve to be ordained. This issue alone has made CTA a
pariah
in the eyes of
conservative
Catholics.
3. Absence of further reform in
liturgy
. CTA also would like to see Roman Catholic liturgy step away from any ancient form of worship into a very inclusive,
politically correct
, and
language neutral
action. For example, CTA would like to see inclusive language throughout the
Mass
; this includes replacing
mankind
with
humanity
, etc. CTA has a deep dislike of those who attend
Tridentine Mass
es and those devoted to ancient forms of liturgy.
CTA is one of those organizations that Catholics either love or hate, but rarely view objectively. It's hard to take CTA seriously when one is conservative, and
vice versa
.
