“We are the 99%, made in God’s image, seeking God’s justice.” So declares the Facebook page for Occupy Catholics, one of the latest additions to the pantheon of Catholic church justice movements.
But rather than emerging out of Vatican II or in direct response to a particular crisis within the institutional church, Occupy Catholics might be the first progressive Catholic group to grow directly out of a popular movement, says National Catholic Reporter.
Occupy Catholics even has its own symbol, created by Mary Valle. The haloed bird sitting on a nest symbolizes the act of occupying a space for the sake of new life. Occupy Catholics wear patches with the image when attending any protests.
