The memorandum, whose full German title is ''Kirche 2011: Ein notwendiger Aufbruch'', was started in Germany in January 2011. The memorandum is a general demand for reform of the Roman Catholic Church in response to the sexual abuse scandal among German priests. ==Description== The memorandum demands: # Structures of participation: more participation of all people in the Catholic Church, particularly through election of bishops and priests; # Parish community: more help for Catholic communities, with a more explicit sharing of responsibilities. Married priests and women as priests should be allowed; # Legal culture: the Catholic Church should initiate a church jurisdiction; # Freedom of conscience: respect for individual conscience, particularly for divorced people, who want to marry again, and for homosexual civil unions; # Reconciliation: greater reconciliation of the church to her own history; and # Worship: reform of the Roman Catholic liturgy (with greater modern influence, and more influence from the cultural life of countries). , over 300 Catholic professors, theologians and other religious scientists from across the world had signed the memorandum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church 2011」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
