Roy Bourgeois, M.M.
My Journey from Silence to Solidarity, published in May of 2012. In this booklet
Maryknoll priest Roy Bourgeois tells how he awoke to justice issues, making them the core of his
ministry for 40 years, and how that justice orientation came to include support
for women's ordination to the Catholic priesthood. Additional resources and
organizations are listed at the end of this booklet.
On November 19, 2012, Roy Bourgeois learned he had been expelled from the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, his religious order and faith community for 46 years, and that the Vatican had revoked his priesthood – all for his refusal to be silent about his support for women’s ordination.
Support for Bourgeois is pouring in – from other countries, including an association of Irish priests , and from throughout the United States, including some Maryknoll members . The National Catholic Reporter is an excellent resource for following this developing story.
Roy was interviewed by CBC Radio's Anna Maria Tremonti, for her Line in the Sand: Dilemmas that Define Us series. It aired on December 19, 2012, and is available at: this link
