Articles by Neuer Anfang

The initiative Neuer Anfang ("New Beginning") was founded by a group of lay Catholics in response to tendencies in Germany which implement a secular anthropology in the church. The initiative wants to clarify why and how Catholic teaching is relevant in a post-modern world. On January 5th, 2022 members of the initiative presented their "manifesto for reform” – nine thesis concerning the German Synodal Path, its theological implications and offering alternative solutions – to Pope Francis himself in Rome.
