A Pope for the
Time to Come: 
Bishop of Rome
and Universal Pastor

For the 20th anniversary of Pope John Paul II's election at the head of the Roman Catholic faith community, over 140 Catholic groups in 27 countries issued a statement entitled A Pope for the Time to Come: Bishop of Rome and Universal Pastor. They challenged their faith community by calling for a model of church built on a "discipleship of equals" and a style of leadership that is collaborative, dialogic and open to fundamental change.  The quest for structural and democratic reform of the Roman Catholic Church was no longer limited to Europe and North America. Networks were being built among similar movements all over the world.
