Church 2011

Church 2011 is a memorandum promulgated by Catholic theology professors, primarily from Germany, Switzerland and Austria. 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:
 * 1) Structures of participation: more participation of all people in the Catholic Church, particularly through election of bishops and priests;
 * 2) Parish community: more help for Catholic communities, with a more explicit sharing of responsibilities. Married priests and women as priests should be allowed;
 * 3) Legal culture: the Catholic Church should initiate a church jurisdiction;
 * 4) Freedom of conscience: respect for individual conscience, particularly for divorced people, who want to marry again, and for homosexual civil unions;
 * 5) Reconciliation: greater reconciliation of the church to her own history; and
 * 6) 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.
