President of Catholic Action Kaineder: Synodal Church should now get substantially underway
Catholic Action Austria (KAÖ) welcomes the next steps in the Synodal process, which were set out by Pope Leo XIV and published on Monday. “We also read the document as a call to immediately take the next possible steps towards greater participation and synodality,” KAÖ President Ferdinand Kaineder said in a press release on Tuesday. The synodal Church should get concretely underway.
With regard to the current issues, there is a broad openness. “All challenging topics remain open for attentive discussion, even sensitive issues such as the ordination of women,” Kaineder said. The focus now will be on “engaging in dialogue and implementation of the relevant issues at the diocesan level and in the bishops’ conferences.” Catholic Action, he added, desires and participates in a “Church design in Austria that truly gets moving.”
The Vatican text repeatedly speaks of the active participation of non-ordained women and men in the process, Kaineder continued. The Catholic Action Association (KAÖ) and all its branches have repeatedly contributed to the work to date, for example, thematically through the KA dossiers.
The Catholic Action Association (KAÖ) gladly accepts every invitation at the diocesan and Austrian levels “to help toward broader synodal participation of all believers in their profound responsibility arising from baptism,” Kaineder said: “We are ready to make our contribution to this.”
