| Summary: | Following the stunning revelations systematically disclosed by the Boston Globe's investigation of sex abuse in the Catholic Church, a group of Catholics in the upscale parish of St. John the Evangelist in Wellesley, Massachusetts, convened in their parish hall to express emotional and moral outrage over the abuse and its cover-up by church officials. The details of Voice of the Faithful's (VOTF) evolution are by now well-documented. Fueled by extensive media coverage and the networking power of the Internet, several local-area Catholics started attending Wellesley VOTF meetings and the organization quickly expanded through the formation of affiliate chapters across the country and through national conferences, the first one held in July 2002, just six months after the scandal erupted. |
