"Ordain women," London bus ads will urge Pope倫敦公車廣告將敦促教宗「晉鐸女性」

 ◎ 魏國金
Pope Benedict will be confronted by posters on London’s famous red buses during his trip to the British capital this month which will call for the ordination of women priests.
教宗本篤十六世在他本月造訪英國首都期間,將迎面對上張貼在倫敦知名紅巴士、呼籲晉鐸女性的廣告。
Protests are planned throughout his four-day trip to England and Scotland. One group of women, Catholic Women’s Ordination (CWO), will have its message plastered on the side of the buses. The group has paid 15,000 pounds for 15 buses to carry the message "Pope Benedict - Ordain Women Now!" for a month.
抗議活動計畫遍及教宗英格蘭與蘇格蘭的4天訪程中。婦女團體「天主教婦女晉鐸」(CWO)將把訊息張貼在公車車身。該組織斥資1萬5000英鎊,讓15輛公車刊登「教宗本篤十六世─現在就晉鐸女性」的訴求一個月。
"We do not want to be disruptive, but I think the church has got to change or it will not survive," CWO spokeswoman Pat Brown said.
「我們不想搞破壞,但我認為教會必須改變,否則將不能存活,」CWO發言人布朗女士說。
Set up in 1993, the CWO describes itself as loyal to the Roman Catholic Church, campaigning from within for inclusivity and the ordination of women.
成立於1993年,CWO標榜自己是效忠羅馬天主教會,不過致力從內部推動包容與女性晉鐸。
The CWO has also launched a group "Catholic Voices for Reform" to coincide with the pope’s visit to counter "Catholic Voices," a group which has the backing of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.
CWO也在教宗訪問期間同時,成立「天主教改革之聲」組織,以與「英格蘭及威爾斯主教會議」所支持的組織「天主教之聲」打擂台。
They will go head-to-head on controversial matters such as child abuse, women’s ordination, married priests, homosexuality and the way the church is run.
她們將在兒童虐待、女性晉鐸、已婚司鐸、同性戀與教會運作方式等爭議性議題上正面交鋒。
