Protested the Vatican's new document (not new policy) on homosexual priests yesterday. Joining them was Rep. William Delahunt (D-Mass.). Voice of the Faithful was a particularly outspoken group, active in Massachusetts, during the sexual abuse scandal a few years ago. While the mainstream media typically portrayed them as good-natured, concerned laity, their long-term agenda was largely hostile to church teaching as this protest displays.
The Globe article fails to note that some local bishops have declared VOTF persona non grata in their parishes. Deal Hudson has the full story on this group.
