An update on Voice of the Faithful

OurLadysWarriors has now updated their list of dissenting organizations to include VOTF

From their mission statement, they are attempting to "3. Shape structural change within Church." This is intended to make a "democratic" Church which clearly violates the hierarchical structure which has always existed and is reemphasized in Vatican II Lumen Gentium. The chairman James Muller states in a National Catholic Reporter article on April 26, 2002, “We have donation without representation, and we have to change that.” Also on a CNN interview dated April 29, 2002, the chairman desires cafeteria Catholicism: "... our goal is to provide a democracy for the laity, so that the laity can decide what they want and then counterbalance the absolute power, which we have now of the hierarchy."

DISSENTING ORGANIZATIONS for the complete list.

"3. Shape structural change within Church."

Yes. This bugged me too when I first read it.

donation without representation

Donation without representation??? Somehow it doesn't have the revolutionary ring of "taxation without representation" -- "So, don't donate" is easier than "so, don't pay taxes."
