What does Voice of the Faithful mean by supporting priests of integrity?
A. As we all know, the overwhelming majority of Catholic priests are faithful to their vocation and vows, living lives of genuine holiness and service. Faithful priests are currently suffering personal pain and public humiliation from the heinous acts of their offending brother priests and their own superiors. Voice of the Faithful is building bridges to these priests — who in many cases are our pastors, our confidants, our teachers, and our friends. We are reaching out to priests both as individuals and through their own budding organizations, which are struggling to find their voice. We pray that our vocal support for priests of integrity — who are frequently oppressed, silenced and intimidated — will help them ultimately to stand in their truth and “be not afraid.
