Here is some helpful advice:
- Firstly, whatever our skin colour or ethnicity, much like the abolition of slavery, we need to work together to make a difference.
- A global petition is being drafted in collaboration with others outside Doctrine Dissolved. When it’s launched, we’ll share the link via this website and social media in order for you to read and consider adding your signature.
- Explore the links on this site for more information.
- Consider any peaceful action you could take to get the Doctrine of Discovery removed from use, such as writing to your politicians, involving the United Nations, the Catholic Church, (if anyone reading this has a contact in the Vatican..?)
- Organise a Doctrine of Discovery discussion group where you explore the topic and have a thought shower/think tank/creativity thinking/buzz session around what action you might take individually or as a group
- Make a donation
- Purchase a T-shirt, mug or other items to help to support this project
- Share our social media posts
- Help to spread the word, share the link to this website.
The pressure is growing from First Nation peoples and church collectives in the USA and Canada. In Australia, groups are gathering, websites are providing resources. Around the world, books, social media and blog posts are being written. To date, nothing seems to have made much of an impact. Part of the reason for that may well be because small groups are easy to ignore.
The Doctrine Dissolved vision is to:
- Have this website be a source of information for all, to provide links and resources and recommended reading.
- Promote networking and the opportunity for groups to work together, plan together and share resources.
- Involve people from the legal profession.
- Have a million or more signatures on a global petition.
- Help set up diverse healing circles where people learn to hold space for each other, to hear and be heard, to heal, to unravel internalised oppression, guilt, shame, and more as we connect to the truth that we are One Human Family.
Please help to get this Papal Bull revoked and removed from all worldwide legislation. It is time.
Help to end legalised oppression. That would be the most amazing act of allyship!
“As has been true throughout history, changing the systemic and structural oppressions that regard us in perfunctory and myopic ways requires sweeping changes in our laws, policies, and social norms. Creating a world of justice for all bodies..”
