639:"Our purpose is to enable the whole Catholic Church to admit women to all ministries. We will have failed if we do not get our reforms incorporated in all structures and levels of the Catholic Church. Leaving the Church does not serve that purpose. At present we experience a serious brokenness in the Church as half its members are excluded from the ordained ministries. But the new wholeness we desire will be achieved rather through a confrontation with the hierarchy, however painful, than through any step that would remove us effectively from the body of the Church." Keynote speech at the First International Conference of Women’s Ordination Worldwide, Dublin June 2001.
747:"Dr. Wijngaards’ work contributes to emancipation in church and society, which is one of the aspirations of the Marga Klompé Foundation. His plea for the renewal of the priesthood and for the ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church is a splendid example of patient reasoning about the tasks of Catholic/Christian men and women, within the Church and outside of it. It is a good thing to keep the discussion on this important subject alive, precisely when it has lost its more sensational aspects -- for then the crux of the issue appears more clearly." Tilburg, Netherlands, 19 November 2005.
276:(1995) and subsequent documents by which the discussion by theologians was curtailed. In protest, Wijngaards resigned from his priestly ministry on 17 September 1998. His request for official reduction to the status of a lay person was acknowledged by Rome on 21 February 2000. On 27 May he married Jacqueline Clackson in a simple Church ceremony. Wijngaards has continued publishing his reasons for advocating the ordination of women to the Catholic priesthood in a series of books, notably
626:"When the Church demands ‘a loyal submission of the will and intellect’, she does not ask for a renunciation of one’s own power to think. The Church demands a much more valuable service, namely the honest attempt to serve the faith with all one’s intellectual powers. The Second Vatican Council, in its Decree 'Gaudium et Spes' no 62 safeguards the freedom of inquiry, thought and freedom of all the faithful."
301:. Its main purpose is to publish independent Catholic scholarly assessments as 'a progressive theological think tank'. The Institute submitted a 'Documented Appeal' to Pope Francis, urging him to restore the ancient ordained diaconate for women. In 2016 he initiated the Catholic Scholars' Statement on the Ethics of Using Contraceptives which was launched on a United Nations platform.
560:"Only honest appraisal in the light of Christ’s Spirit should decide the question of women’s ministry; not convention or personal fancy. After all it is Christ’s priesthood, not ours, we are speaking about." John Wijngaards, ‘The ministry of women and social myth’ in New Ministries in India, ed. D. S. Amalorpavadass, Bangalore 1976, pp. 50-82.
214:(1963–1976). During that time he was instrumental in founding Amruthavani communication centre, Jeevan Jyoti theological institute for religious women and Jyotirmai, the statewide planning body for the Catholic dioceses of Andhra Pradesh. He served as part-time lecturer at the National Biblical Catechetical and Liturgical Centre in
587:"Since I perceive Rome’s ban on women’s ordination as not legitimately founded on Scripture or Tradition, not arrived at after proper consultation in the Church, harmful to ecumenism and highly injurious to the spiritual wellbeing of the faithful, I feel bound in conscience to continue voicing my sincere opposition."
