Dr. Luca Badini Confalonieri is the Director of Research of the Wijngaards Institute for Catholic Research (WICR) in London. In September 2022 WICR published a “Proposed Constitution for the Catholic Church”, which builds on and develops work done in the 1990’s. It aims at suggesting one possible way to integrate commonly proposed reforms into a legal framework that is coherent, realistic, as well as compatible with biblical studies, theological research, and ecumenical dialogues.

Fr. Helmut Schüller is the founder of the Austrian Priests Initiative who for two decades have worked for reforms in the Catholic Church. He has worked tirelessly organizing priests to resist exclusionary church policies and create churches where power is shared and Catholics participate equally, no matter one’s gender, marital status or sexual orientation.
