Prayer Vigils in Major Cities

Voice of the Faithful will be holding vigils on Good Friday in major cities:

They aren't trad, but this is a group to look into. They don't question dogma, but they do demand structural reform of the clergy, including now wanting mandatory celibacy re-examined.

  1. Clearly not trad. I would say not even orthodox in some areas. When a book they recommend is by Garry Wills! HA!

    Certain efforts of theirs are laudable though. Credit where credit is due. We need a network like that for those who lean towards our positions/values.

    Maybe it can be a Renegade Trads initiative. ;)

  2. I thought they were liberal too (and surely some members lean that way), but their actual official position is not to question any official teaching. For example, I don't see them pushing for women priests or contraception or anything like that. The smearing of them by the "conservative" Catholic media/websphere...was largely untrue. They are very different from "Call to Action" and other such groups.

You are welcome to disagree with me and with each other. Civil debate is a valuable way to test and exchange ideas. Do keep it civil, though. Any really offensive craziness will either be held up as an example of What We Don't Stand For, or deleted.
