The
Synodal Pathway.
In October 2021, Denn parish
Council, like parish councils throughout the diocese, met to begin the
conversation, initiated by Pope Francis, to address the future of faith and
church.
Since then, submissions from all parishes who engaged
have been collated and, with reports from diocese throughout Ireland will form
the report from the Irish Church to Rome.
The report from The Diocese of Kilmore
may be accessed here:
Submissions included:
·
Faith is still good news, it provides guidance and
direction in daily life.
·
There is a desire for a church that speaks the
language of the people and reflects their lives in its liturgies. The church needs to present a genuine welcome
and equality of opportunity to women and minority groups and show more
compassion and welcome to those who in the past were ostracised because of life
choices or mistakes.
·
Positions of leadership and ministry should not be
confined to celibate male clergy.
·
There is also a voice that calls on the church to hold
firm. The sense here is that it is for the wider society to change, not the
church.
·
Voice of Youth. There is a calling for the church to,
become relevant to modern life and experience, acknowledging their sins and becoming a more
tolerant and understanding place where young people feel like they are valued,
accepted listen to and, most importantly, safe. Young people are a particular
group that need to be included in parish life by way of liturgies and pastoral
initiatives.
