"…Until we raise a common voice, we will not only not be heard, we will not even be listened to…

My hope is that by speaking out together - a strong chorus of calls for reform - we can provide a common, clear, strong, and ongoing voice for the yet incomplete vision of Vatican II.

In common cause, let us band together across the world. By our desire to be heard on particular issues - all of them important - let us not lose the strength of our common voice by reducing it to a whisper.

In light of this, we invite individuals and organizations to join together in making known our opinions for the good of our Church. By uniting our voices, it is not about abandoning the unique work of your organization but rather about how your work can enhance global reform."

Sr. Joan Chittister, CCRI Special Advisor

"We have to join our forces in order to reach a real breakthrough in this window of opportunity."
