A forum for Catholics working to change unjust structures and practices in the Roman Catholic Church.

COR works to further reform and renewal in the Roman Catholic Church, to build an inclusive church, to bring about a world of justice and peace and to reflect the sacredness of all creation.

 

Stronger together

COR began when the leaders of a dozen organizations spent an afternoon in conversation just before the national conference of Call To Action in Chicago in November 1991. Recognizing strength in numbers, leaders acknowledged what they had in common and committed themselves to capitalize on this strength to further the work of reform.

Sharing our Wisdom: Speaking to the Synod as a Community of Love

The ongoing Synod on Synodality calls for the global church to continue deepening its understanding and practice of synodality, and to “listen more to those on the periphery.” As a response to that call, Catholic Organizations for Renewal (COR) is hosting “Sharing Our Wisdom: Speaking to the Synod as a Community of Love,” on Tuesday, March 19 at 8 p.m. ET. In a dynamic event inspired by the model of “conversation in the Spirit,” COR will feature testimonies and wisdom from theologians and advocates who are most excluded from the synodal process and documents and community discernment through sharing in a “town hall” format. We are inviting Synod Delegates and members of the USCCB Synod team to attend and listen to the testimonies and comments presented. The event will be facilitated by Dr. Annie Selak, director of Georgetown University’s Women’s Center.
