Eight May movement
The Eight May movement (Dutch Acht-Mei-beweging) was a Dutch umbrella organization within the Dutch Roman Catholic Church with the aim to reform it. It was founded in 1985, because of dissatisfaction with the ruling conservative current in the Dutch Catholic church. The immediate reason was the visit of the pope to the Netherlands in 1985 which led to some controversies who was allowed what to say, among others Catharina Halkes. It was disbanded in 2003. Its adherents had decreased strongly because of disengagement of the church and because average adherent age was much higher.
