LCWR Gets Support...and it is a doozy!

So, let me say this up front:  I am very greatful for those women who enter religious life. 

However, it is important to note who stands in solidarity w/ LCWR leadership and the wackyness:

• Voice of the Faithful
• Call to Action
• Women's Ordination Council
• Dignity USA
• CORPUS
• and others...

They have banded together under the banner of Nun Justice Project.  (A really great radical left name...got to give it to the lefties...they really know how to come up with names.)

All of these are groups not faithful to the Catholic Church.  I have documented VOTF, CORPUS and Call to Action before.  DignityUSA is a pro-homosexual group.  Women's Ordination Council speaks for itself.

It would be funny, if it was not so sad.

VOTF at St. Rose of Lima on May 11th

Hey folks, it looks like those wild and crazy VOTF "reformers" will be meeting at St. Rose of Lima on May 11th. And, you will never guess who will be in a "virtual attendance?" They will view a DVD of Bishop Geoffrey Robinson, a retired auxiliary of the Sydney, Australia archdiocese.

Those who are in dissent with the Roman Catholic Church, just love this man. They are just gushing with praise, so much so, that mops and buckets need to be brought in. Remember that the Australian bishops had issued a public statement warning of the doctrinal difficulties with his book in 2008.

Again, why is VOTF, a dissenting organizaton meeting on Church property? This is like the old saying of letting the fox in the hen house.

Hyattsville? Anyone there paying attention?

VOTF and St. Rose of Lima

Well, it looks like no one in Hyattsville thinks that allowing dissenters to meet at a Catholic Church matters. Why should they, they have more important things to do, such as arrange for planes and tours in recognition of a red hat ceremony.

In this week's St. Rose of Lima bulletin, Msgr. Paul Dudziak couches the words in describing the VOTF meeting. In the last bulletin, he stated that this meeting would send recommendations up to the American Catholic Council. This week, he just says that it is a group who is meeting to discuss the future of the Church. He also makes certain to put it in his weekly column, right up front. (If this is not an affront to the Archbishop of Detroit and all faithful Catholics, I don't know what is.)

Here are just a couple of quotes from the statement from the Archbishop of Detroit, to remind Msgr. Dudziak and Cardinal elect Wuerl:

• The American Catholic Council movement and its national gathering are not conducted under the auspices of the Detroit archdiocese, the universal Roman Catholic Church, or any entity or organization affiliated with the archdiocese or the universal Roman Catholic Church.
• The archdiocese wishes to commend and embrace all true efforts at Church renewal - the American Church Council's agenda is not such an effort. Some of the advertised speakers and groups organizing the effort espouse positions which are clearly contrary to Catholic faith, leading to alienation and estrangement from the Church.
• The Archdiocese of Detroit cautions any Catholic against participating in the American Catholic Council local listening sessions and national gathering in June 2011. Catholic parishes, schools, and institutions are not to host any meetings, gatherings, or "listening sessions" associated with the planning of the June 2011 American Catholic Council. Priests, deacons, and ecclesial lay ministers will want to avoid lending support to such a misguided effort.

I think placing it the front of the parish bulletin is his way of not only sticking it to me and others, but he is also trying to hide the true intent of this meeting.

For shame Msgr. Dudziak, for shame.

St. Rose of Lima -- How much more dissent?

Although it may seem very innocent, once again St. Rose of Lima is sponsoring a meeting of the dissenting group: Voice of The Faithful. (How many times must this continue to take place? Does no one in Hyattsville have the fortitude to stop this?)

Now, this is not simply a regular meeting in which they encourage women priests, married priests, etc. but this one is a a meeting to make suggestions which will then be put forward to the American Catholic Council meeting in 2011.

The problem is that the American Catholic Council, like VOTF stands in opposition to the Catholic Church. It allies itself with groups such as Call to Action and CORPUS. (I have written about these before.)

The Archbishop of Detroit has issued a strong statement regarding this meeting in 2011:

The Archdiocese of Detroit has been contacted by concerned members of the faithful about a movement called the American Catholic Council. Self-described as "bringing together a network of individuals, organizations, and communities to consider the state and future of our Church," they have planned a national gathering in Detroit for the weekend of Pentecost 2011. The American Catholic Council movement and its national gathering are not conducted under the auspices of the Detroit archdiocese, the universal Roman Catholic Church, or any entity or organization affiliated with the archdiocese or the universal Roman Catholic Church.

Although their stated purpose is to "respond to the Spirit of Vatican II by summoning the Baptized together to demonstrate our re-commitment and the documents issued by the American Catholic Council offer some valid aspirations for the Church, in fact, the goals proposed are largely in opposition to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and the Holy Spirit, which inspired the Council.

The archdiocese wishes to commend and embrace all true efforts at Church renewal - the American Church Council's agenda is not such an effort. Some of the advertised speakers and groups organizing the effort espouse positions which are clearly contrary to Catholic faith, leading to alienation and estrangement from the Church. The Archdiocese of Detroit cautions any Catholic against participating in the American Catholic Council local listening sessions and national gathering in June 2011. Catholic parishes, schools, and institutions are not to host any meetings, gatherings, or "listening sessions" associated with the planning of the June 2011 American Catholic Council. Priests, deacons, and ecclesial lay ministers will want to avoid lending support to such a misguided effort. On behalf of the archdiocese, Archbishop Vigneron has asked the organizers to cancel their plans for this national gathering that distorts the true Spirit of Vatican II. He asks us all to pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that we may embrace authentic development of faith and morals, and shun efforts which threaten unity.


Archbishop Wuerl...you must support your brother bishop here!

Hyattsville, wake up! Your inaction only helps to subvert the Faith.

If they wish to meet, let them do so at the local library or American Legion Post. Don't let them meet at a Roman Catholic Parish.

VOTF - Those Faithful Catholics

Diogenes of CatholicCulture.org has once again points out, such as I have in the past, that VOTF is what they make themselves out to be. They are dissidents. Look, they are still meeting at Holy Trinity (Sept. 25th is their next meeting w/ Fr. Reese as a speaker -- a dissident group hosting the former editor of a dissident magazine) and "underground" at St. Rose of Lima.

Check out his piece here.

Catholic Standard Weekly Update

Yes, folks, it is that time again (trumpets blare, drums roll): The Catholic Standard Weekly Update.

The cover focuses on one of the new regional schools: St. Francis International School. This story also continues on Page 5 and 6.

We have some clergy appointments. This now seems to be a regular feature in the Standard appearing on Page 2 (inside cover).

There are some stories on the 5th Anniversary of Katrina.

Since it is Labor Day weekend, we have a couple of stories on the economy and labor.

We do have a Reflection by a retired worker on Labor Day by Bob Stewart. Mr. Stewart also wrote a piece last year. However, just like last year, the Catholic Standard left out of his biography that he was the head of Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) at Holy Trinity -- a dissident group. Of course, no one ever mentions the corruption of union leadership in their labor day messages, or how unions are big supporters of gay marriages, abortion, etc., or the violence they committed in support of Obama's Health Care Disaster. But, let's not let these little things stand in the way of a good opinion piece.

We have a good story on Lech Walesa by George Weigel.

The Standard has the center insert dealing with the Maryland Catholic Conference survey of candidates for Maryland Governor, Assembly and US Congress.

I would have thought that Fr. Daly's Parish Diary would reflect on Labor Day. Nope. He decided to step right into the NYC Mosque and as always, gets in way over his head on this and really misses the point.

• Did you see any mention of his support for the Orthodox Church which stood across the street from the WTC, which is cannot be rebuilt? Nope.
• Did you see any mention of the fact that the person who is pushing for the "mosque" wants to establish Sharia law in the US? I did not.
• Did you see any mention that there are apx. 100 mosques in NYC currently? Nope.
• Did you see any information that this person who wishes to establish the Mosque has changed his story a couple of times or that he is a slum lord. Nope.

I wonder if Fr. Daly was opposed to Disney's America?

We have an article about the County Council candidate forum sponsored by the Justice and Advocacy Council of MoCo of the Archdiocese of Washington. Our colleague over at Restore DC Catholicism was there and reported on it. There was no question and answer period, there was no mention of abortion, the strong arm tactics against pro-life centers, the opposition to tax credits for Catholic school parents, no discussion of gay marriage, etc.

Tell me, does not Social Justice apply to the unborn? Does not Social Justice call for tax relief to those parents who save MoCo millions of dollars each year who send their children to Catholic Schools? Does not Social Justice apply to pro-life centers. Yet not one word was asked of these candidates at the forum. FOR SHAME!

And you wonder why many of us do not trust the "social justice" crowd.

Finally, I found a very interesting article by Carole Norris Greene. She is on to something here that many of us see, but we really don't see. Take a look at it and let me know what you think.

VOTF: Honoring the Excommunicated

Over the last few years, I have written about Voice of the Faithful (VOTF). It is a an organization that is looking to tear down the Catholic Church. They are a dissenting organization and many of us have pointed this out.

Well it seems that they have nominated Fr. Roy Bourgeois (Maryknoll) as a "Priest of Integrity" Award. Many Maryknolls have been killed for upholding the faith. Fr. Bourgeois thinks he is a martyr for supporting women priests.

According to Diogenes of Catholic Culture:

Father Bourgeois incurred latae sententiae excommunication for participating in the attempted ordination of a woman. Undaunted by the threat of canonical penalty, he says that the Church’s failure to ordain women as priests amounts to spiritual assassination.

VOTF continues to meet at Holy Trinity in Washington DC. I have not followed up to see if they still meet at St. Rose of Lima (Clopper Road).

When will the Archbishop put an end to these dissenting organiations?

Some Odds and Ends

I did not get a chance to give you my weekly update of the Catholic Standard. This past weekend was beautiful and I decided to enjoy the outdoors. So, I have been a little remiss on my postings.

There are many good stories in the Catholic Standard but I guess there was not enough space for any mention of how the Archbishop honored John Sweeney. You know, the former head of the AFL-CIO who has spent millions upon millions of dollars electing pro-abortion, pro-gay politicians.

However, there are a number of things which we need to update.

First, Bob Stewart is no longer heading up VOTF at Holy Trinity. That honor goes to Jim Listori. Oh, and did you miss the monthly meeting on Sept. 16th. I know I did.

If you missed the VOTF meeting at Holy Trinity in September, no need to worry. You can catch the dissenters at St. Rose of Lima on October 1st.

Our friends over at Restore DC Catholocism have a new blog. The link on the side has been updated. I look forward to the postings.

Fr. Greg, who was stationed at St. Andrew's in Silver Spring, is now the Chaplain at the George Washington University Newman Center. I enjoy his blog postings and have updated the link to his new blog site. Keep up the good work.

Finally, I have added Domine, da mihi hanc aquam! to our blog roll. Fr. Phillip Neri Powell, O.P. has an excellent blog. In fact, I highlighted his story about his experience with the Occult before he became a priest.

Catholic Standard - The Weekly Update

Sorry about this being so late, but I thought that the story of the Archbishop honoring John Sweeney(AFL-CIO President) would be a more important story, esp. since he (Sweeney) supports same sex marriage, abortion as part of health care, etc. Oh, did not see it, scroll down a bit.

So, here is your weekly update...

Well, it is time for a review of this week’s Catholic Standard, and it is a filled with so much stuff, I don’t know where to begin. So, let’s just dive right into it…

The main story, with a special insert, are the new Catholic School Policies. The Standard only puts the policies in a Q & A format. You really need to read them to get a full understanding. They are available on the Archdiocese website. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to compare the draft with the final, to see what was changed. Hopefully, I will be able to do it soon.

Speaking of education, we have a new religious education program for teaching the faith. This is under the direction of Mr. Harry Dudley. I look forward to hearing and seeing the results of this program.

We have a story on the Kennedy funeral. There has been so much written on this – was it the right thing or wrong thing to do -- I will not even begin to comment.

There is a nice story on the new Our Lady Star of the Sea Church at Solomons. The new church will hold between 700 and 800 parishioners. The original only 275.

We see a couple of pages on the fight over marriage in DC. I would recommend that instead of calling it “traditional marriage,” I would call it the fight over “true marriage.” I have to applaud the Archbishop on this one.

There is a one pager on the shooting of a new film regarding St. Josemarie Escriva de Balaguer, the founder of Opus Dei.

The back page is a continuation of the story of the newly ordained Fr. Andrew Morkunas. He is an inspiration for all of us.

Now, since it is a Labor Day issue, there are a number of stories, as expected on this topic.

“A Retired Worker Reflects on Labor Day 2009.” Personally, it is a pretty poor article if you ask me. But what is important is what it leaves out. The author of the article is Bob Stewart. Now that may not ring a bell, but Mr. Steward is the Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) Chapter President and serves out of Holy Trinity. I mean, it is on the VOTF website and Holy Trinity website. (See below.)

Notice how conspicuously it is missing from his bio on page 11 of the Standard? I wonder why the Standard, which is the voice of the Archdiocese, given an opportunity to a dissident leader, someone who is looking to radically change the Roman Catholic Church? I mean, it is on the VOTF and Holy Trinity website but Either Mr. Zimmerman looked the other way or did not do his homework.


Well, on Page 12 we see a small article the SOAR (Support Our Aging Religious) Benefit Dinner in November. This is a “Special to the Standard” piece, which means that it was either written by the Communications Office or that someone told the paper to include it.

As the readers of this blog know, in August I pointed out that SOAR is honoring two pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage, etc. Within a few weeks, Msgr. Ensler of the Archdiocese was no longer the chair of the group. However, attempts to reach SOAR for a comment on why they would do it, were not replied to.

The most important point is: Why would the Catholic Standard advertise an event which helps to honor two people who are opposed to Catholic teaching?

Remember, as always, if you don't get the Standard, pick one up in your parish. Remember, they are required to carry it (and pay for it) -- whether they like it or not.

VOTF Closing Down? We should be so lucky!

According to an article in the Washington comPost:


Leaders of Voice of the Faithful sent out a fundraising letter Monday to members saying it is "at the crossroads of financial survival" and needs $60,000 by the end of this month.

Casey said that after meeting in an emergency session on July 9, the board decided it was faced with two choices: either cease operations or make an emergency appeal to members. He said the board is hoping to raise $60,000 by the end of this month to pay operating expenses for July and August.

In August, the group plans to send a new strategic plan to members that it hopes will renew interest in the group and raise additional money for it.

One of the problems with groups such as VOTF, is that it was set up as a one-issue organization. However, as time has passed, the scandal abated and action taken, they have attempted to morph themselves into a group that has advocated a more radical change in the Church - a dissenting organization. I (and others) have written extensively about them. In addition, they have aligned themselves with other dissenting groups, such as CORPUS.

I mean, look at their 2009 Conference speakers: Sr. Joan Chittister and Fr. Thomas Reese. If you are looking for a radical change in the Church, then you have found the right group.

So, if they disappear, it will not be a loss for the Church.

Archbishop Wuerl, Notre Dame and some odds and ends

Well folks, last week was a busy week for me and although I did have some time to write more, I thought that the postings on Policy for 2009 was important for me to keep as the front and center story.

Question: Did anyone who wrote to the Archdiocese get a response? Please let me know if you did.

If you want to see the whole document, please go to Restore DC Catholicism and then Current Announcements.

Archbishop Wuerl and Notre Dame


Well folks, I was fooled. I did not think that Archbishop Wuerl would come out against the visit of the Most Merciful, Lord High Barack Obama and his visit to Notre Dame. I will have to admit, I was wrong about him. Here is his statement:

When asked about the Notre Dame event, which has spurred a small but intense movement of angry Catholics, Wuerl said the school should not have honored Obama but that he was not in favor of rescinding the invite. (Newseek)


(Note: A couple of hundred thousand, plus 70 bishops are not a small movement but who's counting.)

Do I need to say more?

Archbishop Wuerl and Refusal of Communion

This is a topic, I have written about (and so have hundreds of others) regarding his refusal to deny Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians. Well, Ed Peters (Cannon Lawyer), goes into some detail on this and really shows that the Archbishop's arguements do not hold water. (H/T to Fr. Z's blog.)


Archbishop Wuerl and VOTF

For over a year, I have been asking, pleading and almost begging that the Archbishop put his foot down on Voice of the Faithful -- a dissident group -- about meeting on Church property. In fact, regarding any dissent groups.

Well, you dissenters don't you fret now, because if you missed the meeting on May 7th at St. Rose of Lima in Gaithersburg, you can still catch it at Holy Trinity on May 12th.




Thank you.

Finally, I would like to thank all of my readers. This site hit the 20,000 plus mark.

Archbishop Wuerl - Ban VOTF Now!

The recent attempt by two homosexual legislators and VOTF member Tom Gallagher to violate the First Amendment in their attempt to change how the Catholic Church is run in Connecticut, have (for now) given up. If they had been successful, you know that it would have been the start of many such lawsuits.

I am urging Archbishop Wuerl to ban VOTF permanently from every Roman Catholic facility in the Archdiocese of Washington DC.

We know that VOTF met at St. Rose of Lima in Gaithersburg (don't know if they still meet there, since not all meetings appear on the weekly calendar).

They still meet at Holy Trinity in Georgetown and have a page on their website, advertising their monthly meetings. (What else do you expect from them.)

Archbishop Wuerl, it is time to take a stand. Ban VOTF now. You have the authority to do so.

If the pastors and priests of those parishes and facilities do not abide by your decision, then ask them to leave the Archdiocese immediately. You have the authority to do so.

It is time to take a stand.

I Missed It...Did You?

Well folks, it looks like I missed the last meeting of the dissenters at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown. Darn.

Never ceases to amaze me how a supposedly Catholic parish can host dissenters on a regular basis. But then again, it is Holy Trinity and run by the Jesuits. Need I say more?

BTW, VOTF has thrown in their lot with Fr. Bourgeouis. Talk about your dissenters.

The folks over in Hyattsville will turn a blind eye.

But, what else is new.

VOTF - Dissent is Still Going Strong at St. Rose of Lima

A number of months ago, I put forth a series of postings on VOTF in the Archdiocese of Washington DC. Well, VOTF seemed to disappear for a bit, except for the VOTF Chapter at Holy Trinity in DC.

Well, it seems that dissedent groups are once again rearing their heads. St. Rose of Lima, which has done this before, is at it once again:

It is amazing when the Archbishop continues to ask those of us who are faithful to the teachings of the Church, that we have to tolerate this sort of stuff happening.

Is there anyone in Hyattsville watching? Is there anyone who really cares?

+++++++

Question: What does Barack Obama and Osama bin-Laden have in common?

Answer: Both have friends who have bombed the Pentagon!

VOTF at Holy Trinity (Washington DC)

Well, it looks like the dissident group Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) is once again meeting at Holy Trinity Church in Washington DC in October. (Go to the very bottom of the bulletin.)

Don't we have enough problems with politicians who "pontificate" on the Catholic faith and help confuse the faithful, that we have to put up with dissenters meeting in our own Churches?

When will we recognize the wolves in sheep clothing?

If you need to learn more about VOTF, you can view some of my past postings:

VOTF and the Ordination of Women

VOTF and Bishop Robinson

Since the Archbishop will be at the parish this weekend for the installation of the new pastor, maybe the Archbishop can have a word (or two) with him.

Welcome to The Deacon's Bench

In last Thursday's blog posting, I referenced The Deacon's Bench on the issue of VOTF and those women who wish to be ordained to the Catholic priesthood. After a couple of nice email exchanges with Deacon Greg, I am delighted to include his blog on my list.

And, by the way, have you noticed, no one from VOTF (or should I say "Voice of the Dissenters") has answered my questions.

VOTF - Dissenting from the Church Once Again

A few weeks ago, I took some heat (actually, it rolled like water off of a duck's back) regarding my statement that Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) were dissenters. There were a number of postings from a few who stated that they were faithful to the Church's teachings and that I was not able to prove my point.

On May 30th, the Congregation of Faith issued, via L'Osservatore Romano, the following decree:

In accordance with what is disposed by Can. 1378 of the Code of Canon Law, he who shall have attempted to confer holy orders on a woman, as well as the woman who may have attempted to receive Holy Orders, incurs in a latae sententiae excommunication, reserved to the Apostolic See.

If he who shall have attempted to confer Holy Orders on a woman or if the woman who shall have attempted to received Holy Orders is a faithful bound to the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches, he is to be punished with the major excommunication, whose remission remains reserved to the Apostolic See, in accordance with can. 1443 of the same Code (cf. can. 1423, Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches).

Well, it looks like the NJ Chapter of VOTF has decided to come out against this.

In an email, which was posted over at The Deacon's Bench, you will see that they come out against decree and stand in solidarity with CORPUS in favor of women's ordination.

Now, for those of you who do not know, CORPUS was founded by Anthony Padovan, an ex-priest, and advocates for both married and single priests, both male and female. In addition, the facilitator of the NJ Chapter of VOTF (Theresa Padovan) happens to married to Anthony Padovan. (Just a coincidence?)

Now, the Curt Jester has taken apart VOTF's argument. He has done a much better job than I could ever.

So, to those VOTF members who do come here, esp. the St. Rose and Holy Trinity ones (and I know you do):

1. Do you agree or disagree with the VOTF email?

2. If you disagree, would you be willing to call upon the national VOTF to condemn the NJ Chapter?

These are simple questions and I am asking for simple answers.

To Question One, the only two possible answers are: Agree or Disagree.

To Question #2, if you disagree, the answer is either "Yes I will" or "No, I won't."
If you decide to answer, please, keep to the questions asked and the options given. If you can't, then your response may not be posted. (Don't say I have not warned you.)

VOTF and Holy Trinity Parish (in DC)

Well, it looks like St. John the Baptist in Silver Spring wasn't the only parish to advertise Bishop Robinson's book signing, sponsored by Voice of the Faithful (VOTF).

We also have Holy Trinity in Washington DC, which advertised it in their May11th bulletin.

However, it only gets better!

It seems that VOTF has an affiliate in the Archdiocese of Washington DC. And guess where it is located?

If you guessed Holy Trinity, you go to the head of the class.

So, we actually have a dissenting organization supported by a Catholic parish in the Archdiocese. And, it has done so since 2003! What's next? A Planned Parenthood chapter?

Does not the Archbishop have authority over the parishes in his Diocese?

Is there anyone who cares about this in Hyattsville?

VOTF and St. John the Baptist (Silver Spring)

Once again, we have another parish in the Diocese promoting Voice of the Faithful (VOTF), a dissident organization.

St. John the Baptist (Silver Spring) has recently placed an announcement in their parish bulletin advertising the local speaking engagement of the Most. Rev. Geoffrey Robinson, the retired Auxiliary Bishop of Sidney Australia.

Although he is not speaking on parish property (thank God), it is bad enough that they are advertising this event.

What makes it worse is that the Australian Bishops have issued a public statement about a number of doctrinal problems with this book.

According to Catholic World News:

At their May meeting, the Australian bishops warn that Confronting Power calls into question "the authority of the Catholic Church to teach the truth definitively." The book reflects "Bishop Robinson’s uncertainty about the knowledge and authority of Christ himself," the bishops report.

The bishops' statement goes on to note problems with the bishop's book on "among other things, the nature of Tradition, the inspiration of the Holy Scripture, the infallibility of the Councils and the Pope, the authority of the Creeds, the nature of the ministerial priesthood and central elements of the Church’s moral teaching."

Once again, what are they thinking over at St. John’s? First it was accolades for the former Montgomery Council member Marilyn Praisner. Now, they advertise of a dissident organization event with a bishop who seems to waiver on a number of doctrinal issues. What next?

VOTF at St. Rose of Lima in Gaithersburg

You hear much about being faithful to the teachings of the Church, and yet, right here in the Archdiocese of Washington DC, the Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) is given a warm reception at St. Rose of Lima in Gaithersburg.

On April 22, 2008 a presentation was held at the St. Joseph Room (talk about adding insult to injury) by VOTF.

(This must be Dissent Week at St. Rose, since this is the second such event there. I guess with the Pope gone, the media shilling for Obama once again, pastors and their ministry leaders are going back to undermining the Church.)

You remember St. Rose from an earlier posting. One of their parishioner's is on the Board of Directors of Rent-a-Priest. Another dissident group.

What is Msgr. Dudzaik (the pastor) thinking? Maybe he isn't.

Here is he allowing a group that supports homosexuality, abortion, contraception, female priests and other dissident principles.

The VOTF deceives faithful Catholics into believing it is a legitimate Catholic organization with slogans such as "support those who have been abused" and "support priests of integrity". However, the group is tied to dissident, radical, anti-Vatican groups, such as Call to Action and We are Church, which strongly reject Catholic moral principles.

Archbishop Wuerl needs to publicly admonish Msgr. Dudzaik and ban VOTF from any Catholic parish.

No wonder why the Church is in the state that it is in. Those whom are placed in authority are doing whatever they can to undermine it.

As I have said before, the is THE ROT FROM WITHIN.
