The Voice of the Faithful, a group of rather ignorant sounding older people, have a local Long Island chapter. This group claims to be upset with the years of child molesting and cover-ups that went on in this diocese. Most of this went on under then Bishop McGann, a very liberal bishop who cracked down as hard as he could on orthodox priests, but allowed dissenting, perverted priests to do as they pleased. He would invite a priest every year to speak to all the priests of the diocese at their annual retreat. One year he invited Richard McBrien, a “priest” who does not believe in the Church’s teachings. Now, since the vast majority of the child molestation went on under McGann, you would think that the VOF would want to move as far from McGann’s tactics as possible right? Wrong. They have invited, yes McBrien, to come speak to the group. I emailed both the co-leaders of the VOF to find out why they would want to follow the lead of the Bishop responsible for such outrages. I did not get a response at all. I guess VOF does not believe in changing the way this diocese was run for over 20 years, nor do they believe in discussing their choices. I wonder what this group does believe in?
