Our researchers @DrTracyMcEwan, Dr @KathMcPhillips, and Dr Miriam Pepper are behind the largest global survey of Catholic women in the church’s history. ⛪️

What they found was a hunger for reform as many Catholics are seeking new ways to 'do church'. 👇 https://t.co/fqcMCKqtQA

A substantial majority of catholic women were concerned about the prevalence of abuse, racism, and sexism in church contexts.

As @KathMcPhillips + @DrTracyMcEwan (@Uni_Newcastle) found, many also raised issues relating to transparency and accountability. https://t.co/gEKaewiaRR
