4th of July Call for Essential Catholic Church Reform. On July 4,
1776, in Philadelphia, a group of courageous men signed a
document that changed world history. They enunciated principles of
basic, God-given human rights, declared that governments have their
right to govern based on the consent of the governed, listed
intolerable grievances against the King of England, and declared
their independence. Using this great document as a model, we have
drafted the 4th of July Call for Essential Catholic Church Reform and
placed it on the Internet in the form of a petition. The beginning of the
declaration follows.
The course of recent events compels us to change our relationship
with the authority structure of our church in Rome, and to assume the
equal station to which the Creator calls us. We declare here the
principles and reasons that oblige us to transform our church, and
we outline our vision and timetable for a church more aligned with
Gospel values.
