Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger: 'Defying the Pope? It's like not paying a parking fine'
She served in church as a child, has been excommunicated, is married to a divorced man, and has been consecrated a bishop. How much further can a Catholic woman challenge the Vatican? Peter Stanford meets Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger
Where are we at Post Papal Visit?
You may have been wondering where had we got to recently so I am pleased to be able to tell you that we are alive and well and planning a number of developments for the future. We had hoped to get this message out before Christmas but unforeseen events prevented this.
We decided that Stand up should not be too obvious a presence during the period of the visit of Pope Benedict to the UK, although a number of people associated with Stand up were involved in other ways. Most notably through a new grouping called Catholic Voices for Reform formed prior to the visit to present an alternative view to that of the semi-official Catholic Voices and we are pleased to report that this group were able to present the alternative voice of the Church in over 100 interviews and appearances in all forms of the media during this period.
