The mission of the Ordination Justice Initiative is to call the Roman Catholic Church into alignment with God’s dream of a priesthood where every vocation is recognized.​​

The Roman Catholic Church is out of alignment with God on it's doctrine of a male-only priesthood. The exclusion of women from the sacrament of Holy Orders is justified and perpetuated by (1) hypocritical interpretations of scripture that violate the Church's own teaching on biblical interpretation, (2) the erasure of a complicated Church history that includes the participation of women in sacramental ministries even in the midst of oppressive cultural powers and overt theologized sexism, and (3) a deeply problematic theology of the human person that violates the central teachings of the Gospels by making women a second order of creation that is destined to be dominated. The work of the Ordination Justice Initiative is to clarify these misalignments in order to help the Church embrace its transition to the fullness of life that God desires by welcoming every vocation to priesthood, regardless of gender.
