Feminist protests in Rome and hope for the priesthood of women – he writes about it in Common Weekly Zuzanna Radzik. "Catholic socio-cultural writing" expresses her pen waiting for a greater "participation of women" in synodical processes in the Church.
Zuzanna Radzik has been active in the Catholic feminist movement for many years. As she confessed in a column published this week in Common WeeklyTen years ago, she attended the Women’s Ordination Worldwide gathering held in London.
It is an organization initiated in Austria in 1968, present of an ecumenical character. It works to sanctify women in all Christian denominations. Among another things, she focuses Catholics, who – contrary to the provisions of canon law and in the light of the teachings of the Church completely ineffectively – received the appearance of the sacrament of holiness. There are besides women in the organization who believe they have a vocation to the priesthood, nevertheless due to their desire to obey canon law they do not search apparent ordination.
The author of the column convinces that many changes have taken place over the last 10 years. At the time, she could not print a text on this organization; present she writes about these matters freely.
The Radzik was in Rome during the first days of the Synod on Synodality with the Tekla group, which seeks to introduce women's ordination into the Church. "I have no more problems. I'm speaking, I'm planning on happenings, I'm joining another organizations, including those who are straight behind the priesthood of women. I came here as a Catholic feminist activist, not a journalist. There are eleven participants from Poland" – she wrote in the General Week. "I am so arrogant that we have gathered so much," she added.
The Catholic feminist believes that the actions of her environment are encountering many resistance. Along with her colleagues, she received approval to march through the streets of Rome, to the Vatican. However, the police set a long route, which, in Radzik's opinion, was to draw feminists as far distant from the Vatican itself. "State patriarch supporting church patriarch. And it is only amazing that so much effort is devoted to the fact that respective twelve women cannot shout for half an hr under the congregation, which demands come from different parts of the world. The Vatican has been fenced with a sanitary cordon from hostile thoughts, feminine desires and vocations," she said.
Radzik pointed out that in 2018 she was in Rome protesting, demanding that women be included in synodical processes. This actually happened: this year there are besides lay women on the Synod about Synodality – with the right to vote. The Synod is inactive “mostly composed of bishops and priests”, although bitterly noted Radzik, but appreciates the change. However, Zuzanna Radzik expects more – and she writes, that is why she was in Rome to participate in demonstrations. "Time for another Church: inclusive, with adequate representation of women," she wrote.
