always at work in religious faith.
VOICES OF THE FAITHFUL: LOYAL CATHOLICS STRIVING FOR CHANGE
by William D'Antonio and Anthony Pogorelc, Catholic University of America
This volume presents original research on the history, religious
beliefs, practices, and attitudes of the Voice of the Faithful (VOTF),
a group of devout, active, and loyal Catholics that originated in the
Boston area. The authors show that VOTF represents educated and
energetic people of faith with deep roots in Catholicism and tradition.
The authors also introduce assessments of VOTF from respected historians and
theologians. This volume makes for challenging and inspiring reading for anyone interested
