The purpose of this ministry is to challenge the Church’s policies regarding women by engaging the hierarchy and organizing on a grassroots level to publicly witness for women’s ordination into a renewing priestly ministry.
To explain why we use the term "irritation," we use the analogy of
Diaper rash? Dishpan hands? The heartbreak of psoriasis? No.
the grain of sand and the oyster. The grain of sand irritates the inside of the oyster to create a beautiful pearl, and the people active in this ministry are the grains of sand, irritating the Catholic hierarchy to create a pearl of wisdom for the Church that bring about repentance for the sins of the Kyriarchy and bring about a renewing priestly ministry!
Unfortunately for either the analogy or the hierarchy, the oyster does not survive the harvest.
