A free, world-class theological research and education to overcome unjust prejudices in Catholicism
What We Do
[/text_output][promo image=”1981″ alt=”” id=”01″ class=”promo-img” style=”img {max-width: 100%; height: auto;}”]We focus on producing pioneering theological research by coordinating leading academics worldwide to collaborate on reports tackling the Church’s officially uncomfortable, difficult, and disputed areas.

At the Wijngaards Institute for Catholic Research, we help Catholics overcome traditional prejudices on key issues to do with women’s equality and ministries in the church, sexual ethics, marriage, and church authority. The main areas of research are:
- The discrimination against women in the Roman Catholic Church (e.g. their exclusion from any ordained ministry and decision-making power);
- Christian Sexual Ethics (e.g. the meaning and purpose of sexuality, sexual orientation, LGBT ; family planning and artificial contraception, and so on);
- Church authority and governance (e.g. collegiality and co-responsibility; democratic selection of office holders; the integration of expertise in ecclesial policy-making);
- The interpretation of the bible;
- The relationship between science and faith.

We coordinate theologians and other experts and listen to the experiences and insights of Catholics worldwide to identify problems and develop solutions to help the Roman Catholic Church reform.

Why is This Important
[/text_output][promo alt=”” id=”” class=”” style=”” image=”1982″]WICR is a private educational charity, and can therefore maintain full independence from external pressures.
» More…
In an ideal world the work of the Wijngaards Institute would be carried out within that wonderful galaxy of educational and research institutions that Catholics throughout history have set up.
Sadly, this is only rarely the case. Many Catholic authorities – bishops, educational institutions, individual theologians – are reluctant to allow free public discussion concerning some of those issues, for fear of antagonizing the Vatican or jeopardising their careers and even jobs.
As long as this situation persists there will be a need for independent institutes such as ours. » Less..
