MISSION statement: Revised 2026

We are a group of Catholics, some of whom are ordained, brought together by our love of Christ’s Church and a desire to be part of the synodal renewal it needs.
 
Inspired by the legacy of the Second Vatican Council, and the call to Synodality for the Church of the third millennium, we want to contribute fully to the life of our Church so that it may be a more effective and inclusive sign of the Kingdom of God.
 
To enable this, we wish to promote listening, dialogue and receptivity within the Church, and with all people of good will, open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
 
Accordingly, we aim to facilitate opportunities to share experiences, practices and insights to discern our hopes and aims for the Church in the world today.

THEOLOGY statement:

ACTA is a movement built from below by clergy and laity alike in every diocese in England and Wales. It exists to give those people an effective voice. It is an instrument to establish and promote space for a trusting dialogue within a hierarchically structured people’s Church.
 
ACTA believes that the reforms of the Second Vatican Council are the only way forward for mission to modern society. It is not a small chapel of selected followers; it believes in the Church as a “big tent”, with open doors. As a free and representative association of believers, it seeks to liberate the expertise in the ranks, so as to bring added energy and witness to the Church in the world.

Marco Politi report on lecture tour

The opposition to Pope Francis was Marco Politi’s theme on a recent UK lecture tour which took him to Heythrop, the Centre for Catholic Studies in Durham and Newman University in Birmingham, and then to Dublin. Politi quoted the Pope’s words to an Argentinian friend: “I only ask the Lord that this change will endure, and not be like a light that suddenly goes out”.

Werner Jeanrond.    Conference 2016 Transcripts

“Thank you ACTA for having me with you today and allowing me to open with reflections on the Church and where we’re going with Pope Francis.

We’ll start with a few thoughts about our expectations.  What do we expect of God at this point in history?  And what is the role of the Christian Community?  We might expect salvation, forgiveness, justice, heaven.  And what does God expect from us?  How do we think of God?  Is he a monarchical superpower appearing in response to our prayers?  How do we imagine our cooperation with God?
