Nottingham diocese prominently promotes dissent project of ex-priest John Wijngaards, women priest advocate

By Deacon Nick Donnelly, on December 9th, 2013

The Diocese of Nottingham’s newspaper, Catholic News, is prominently promoting a project promoting dissent created by ex-Catholic priest John Wijngaards, who abandoned the priesthood to advocate the ordination of women. The front page of the December issue Catholic News carries the headline ‘Catholics Urged To Tell Their Stories’:
‘Catholics whose lives and faith have been challenged by the Vatican’s current teachings on contraception, homosexuality and access to communion for the divorced and remarried are being urged to share their experiences.
The John Wijngaards Catholic Research Centre’s new website, www.johnwijngaards.org, is providing an independent platform for Catholics in England and Wales to record their testimonies and contribute their views on morality and their faith.
Information and the personal stories of people affected by the Vatican’s attitudes to issues of sexuality, sexual practices and divorce, will be made available to Church representatives ahead of the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops focusing on the family in October 2014.
The aim of the Synod of Bishops has been described as addressing the serious challenges of the social and spiritual crisis in today’s world. The Bishops have set a deadline of December 6 for canvassing views on many of the key issues including sexuality, contraception and access to communion.
‘Leading campaigners for modernising Church attitudes to these hot topics believe that the short research deadline is arbitrary and will stifle debate. John Wijngaards, a Catholic Scholar, author and director of an international faith formation centre charity, is heading the John Wijngaards Catholic Research Centre team.
He said: “These are key issues affecting and blighting so many people’s lives. Their voices need to be heard and given the proper attention they deserve.
“Setting a deadline of December 6 is inadequate and wholly unnecessary if the Church and its Bishops are really serious about addressing these fundamental topics.
“Our new website is offering an independent platform for Catholics to tell the Bishops the effect on real lives of Church teachings on sex and morality.
“These teachings are based on a misguided interpretation of natural law which was nurtured by medieval theologians. They are flawed and should have no place in a 21st century Catholic Church.
“This is a rare opportunity for us all to work towards reforming the Church’s position on morality which is currently alienating millions of Catholics and causing untold guilt, misery and confusion.”
Miriam Duignan, an active campaigner for Church reform and a member of the John Wijngaards Catholic Research Centre team, said: “These are important issues for us all. But they are particularly significant for younger Catholics many of whom find themselves very much at odds with current Church teachings and have great difficulty in reconciling their faith with the Vatican’s attitudes to contraception and homosexuality”.
The Diocese of Nottingham is promoting through the pages of its diocesan newspaper dissent from the following doctrines of the Catholic Church:
The Diocese of Nottingham promotes dissent about Contraception
2368 A particular aspect of this responsibility concerns the regulation of procreation. For just reasons, spouses may wish to space the births of their children. It is their duty to make certain that their desire is not motivated by selfishness but is in conformity with the generosity appropriate to responsible parenthood. Moreover, they should conform their behavior to the objective criteria of morality:

When it is a question of harmonizing married love with the responsible transmission of life, the morality of the behavior does not depend on sincere intention and evaluation of motives alone; but it must be determined by objective criteria, criteria drawn from the nature of the person and his acts, criteria that respect the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love; this is possible only if the virtue of married chastity is practiced with sincerity of heart.¹⁵⁶

2369 ”By safeguarding both these essential aspects, the unitive and the procreative, the conjugal act preserves in its fullness the sense of true mutual love and its orientation toward man’s exalted vocation to parenthood.”¹⁵⁷
2370 Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality.¹⁵⁸ These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom. In contrast, “every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible” is intrinsically evil:¹⁵⁹

Thus the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality. . . . The difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle . . . involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and of human sexuality.¹⁶⁰

 The Diocese of Nottingham promotes dissent about Homosexuality
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
The Diocese of Nottingham promotes dissent about access to communion for the divorced and remarried 
1650 Today there are numerous Catholics in many countries who have recourse to civil divorce and contract new civil unions. In fidelity to the words of Jesus Christ – “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery” the Church maintains that a new union cannot be recognized as valid, if the first marriage was. If the divorced are remarried civilly, they find themselves in a situation that objectively contravenes God’s law. Consequently, they cannot receive Eucharistic communion as long as this situation persists. For the same reason, they cannot exercise certain ecclesial responsibilities. Reconciliation through the sacrament of Penance can be granted only to those who have repented for having violated the sign of the covenant and of fidelity to Christ, and who are committed to living in complete continence.
The Diocese of Nottingham promotes dissent about the Natural Moral Law
1954 Man participates in the wisdom and goodness of the Creator who gives him mastery over his acts and the ability to govern himself with a view to the true and the good. The natural law expresses the original moral sense which enables man to discern by reason the good and the evil, the truth and the lie:
The natural law is written and engraved in the soul of each and every man, because it is human reason ordaining him to do good and forbidding him to sin . . . But this command of human reason would not have the force of law if it were not the voice and interpreter of a higher reason to which our spirit and our freedom must be submitted.⁵

1955 The “divine and natural” law⁶ shows man the way to follow so as to practice the good and attain his end. The natural law states the first and essential precepts which govern the moral life. It hinges upon the desire for God and submission to him, who is the source and judge of all that is good, as well as upon the sense that the other is one’s equal. Its principal precepts are expressed in the Decalogue. This law is called “natural,” not in reference to the nature of irrational beings, but because reason which decrees it properly belongs to human nature:

Where then are these rules written, if not in the book of that light we call the truth? In it is written every just law; from it the law passes into the heart of the man who does justice, not that it migrates into it, but that it places its imprint on it, like a seal on a ring that passes onto wax, without leaving the ring.⁷ The natural law is nothing other than the light of understanding placed in us by God; through it we know what we must do and what we must avoid. God has given this light or law at the creation.⁸

1956 The natural law, present in the heart of each man and established by reason, is universal in its precepts and its authority extends to all men. It expresses the dignity of the person and determines the basis for his fundamental rights and duties: 

For there is a true law: right reason. It is in conformity with nature, is diffused among all men, and is immutable and eternal; its orders summon to duty; its prohibitions turn away from offense . . . . To replace it with a contrary law is a sacrilege; failure to apply even one of its provisions is forbidden; no one can abrogate it entirely.⁹

 Readers of Protect the Pope,  please compare and contrast the Diocese of Nottingham’s promotion of John Wijngaards’ dissent with the Catechism of the Catholic Church’s paragraph’s on contraception, homosexuality, communion for divorced and remarried and the natural law. Where would you place the Catholic News’ article ‘Catholics Urged to Tell Their Stories’ in the ranks of the most disgraceful betrayal of the Catholic faith by a diocesan newspaper?
