Trish Madigan OP
The Catholic Church as we know it today has largely been shaped by the Council of Trent (1545–1563) and the Second Vatican Council. Taking a historical approach, what can we learn from the Councils of Trent and Vatican II in terms of participation (or non-participation) by Catholic laity? What can these Councils teach us as we prepare for the Plenary Council 2020?
Sr. Trish Madigan op is a member of the Dominican Sisters, the Director of
CIMER, the Dominican Centre for Interfaith, Ministry, Education and Research (www.cimer.org.au) which focuses especially on women’s role and participation in the religious faith traditions and women’s contributions to building societies of peace, justice and care of creation. She has been
involved for many years in ecumenical and interfaith ministry in the Catholic Church in Sydney.
Her recent publications include a book chapter “Women During and After Vatican II” in Catholicism Opening to the World and
