025: Father Anne: A Resilient Voice for Women in the Catholic Church

Father Anne is not only a highly recognized woman within the movement for women’s equality in the Catholic Church but also a favorite among listeners of the Your Radical Truth Podcast, hosted by Margaret Mary O'Connor. Back by popular demand, Father Anne delves even deeper into the pressing issues surrounding women's roles in the clergy, offering candid insights and powerful perspectives.

Synodality and the Future of the Catholic Church

Father Anne offers a compelling analysis of Pope Francis's efforts to implement Vatican II's synodality. While acknowledging the historical significance of the synod process, she highlights its shortcomings. Synodality's promise to include the global church in meaningful discussions has often faltered due to resistance from bishops, leaving many Catholics unaware of its existence.

According to Father Anne, the next Pope will play a pivotal role in determining whether synodality takes root or fades back into the hierarchical, monarchical model of the past. For true progress, the Church must openly acknowledge unresolved doctrines, particularly regarding the ordination of women.
