MISSION statement:

We are a group of Catholics, some of whom are ordained, brought together by our love of Christ's Church and our anxiety about its future. Still inspired by the Second Vatican Council, we want to contribute fully to the life of our Church so that we may be a more effective sign of the Kingdom of God. To do this, we believe that an atmosphere of openness and dialogue both with each other and with our church leadership needs developing. Accordingly, we aim to supply channels of free and frank communication. We desire to help create a climate of trust and respect for all where this dialogue may be fostered.

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.

Written by: Alex Walker
Published: 02 June 2025

As we gain insights into the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV the Scottish Laity Network are delighted to welcome back Massimo Faggioli on Thursday, 19 June at 7pm, to help us discern what these early days are revealing.

 

Massimo is a professor in the department of theology and religious studies at Villanova University, which is the only Augustinian university in the United States, and the university where Pope Leo XIV earned his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1977 and received an honorary Doctor of Humanities, honoris causa, from the University in 2014.

 

Massimo writes regularly for Italian and English-speaking journals and magazines on the Church, religion and politics, has a column in "La Croix International", is contributing editor for 'Commonweal', and staff writer for 'Il Regno'. His books and articles have been published in eight languages.
