However, VOTF - from the beginning - had serious problems from both a theological and philosophical standpoint.

Their top priority at that time was to stand with the victims/survivors against the cover-up and lack of accountability.<BR/>It had a noble beginning.Skip Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738732680072335751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-16584755020738367582007-11-01T10:08:00.000-07:002007-11-01T10:08:00.000-07:00Thank you for the kind note Terri.

So many Bishops have banned this organization in their dioceses, some of them referring to the group as "anti-Catholic." <BR/><BR/>It always amazes me how so many who cry the loudest for reform in the Church neglect the most critical aspect of reform: self-reform in the form of daily conversion, repentance and reconciliation.<BR/><BR/>But then, it's easier to play the blame game and point a finger at someone or something else. I'll stick with frequent confession and working on my sinful self. There is enough work for me to do reforming myself (with the help of God's grace without which nothing is possible).Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-66282910811786209852007-11-01T09:03:00.000-07:002007-11-01T09:03:00.000-07:00Paul, I had heard of VOTF but didn't really know a...Paul, I had heard of VOTF but didn't really know anything about them.
