Forces of Dissent Prepare Attack on Benedict XVI
I have included the following article that I ran across in it's entireity, mostly because of the link documentation that it includes. I don't think that the evidence set forth in the article is quite the smoking gun that the author thinks it is, but knowing these organizations for what they are...well, let's just say that they are worth watching. Please read and make your own decision.
Fr. Robert Carr, Holy Cross Cathedral, Boston, sends us the following: "We have been alerted here that there is a move to make an assault on the Church in the US and an attempt to bring down Pope Benedict XVI in Rome through propaganda.

Meanwhile Voice of the Faithful, another movement against the Church is using the case of Fr. Marcial Maciel the founder of the Legionaires of Christ who is accused of molesting seminarians, to go after Pope Benedict XVI.

The Voice of the Faithful was founded with the support of Marshall Ganz, a man seeking to overthrow the Catholic Church. In fact, here you can see a letter by one of his students who is now working for Voice of the Faithful. The woman Aimee Carevich makes it clear here that the goal of the oganization is to stage a kind of a coup.

The course that Aimee refers to was taught at Harvard Divinity School. It can be found here in a PDF file. http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/PEP/docs/Ganz.pdf
This course as you can see was taught in the fall of 2001. The attack on the Church began in January 2002. You can also see that it is on the Carnegie Foundation website. The Carnegie Foundation is a major charity that gives grants to various people mostly in the USA. It may mean that the Carnegie Foundation is one of the funders of this attack. (Marshall Ganz lives on grants and has his own grant writer. He is presently working in the LA area to bring down Cardinal Mahoney. Maybe it is time to start asking, Who else was in that classroom besides Aimee Carevich and Marshall Ganz? And what agencies did they represent? My guess is that we will find a who's who of the people trying to silence the Church. This may explain why the media equipment the protesters at the Cathedral used to record their events was supplied by Harvard University.
One of the text books in the case is called Rules for Radicals and they are using this book as their guideline of the work against the Church. The book is often not allowed to be sold in some countries. The USA is one where it can be sold. Rules for Radical was written by Saul Alinsky and teaches techniques such as reforming the conscience, lying, word manipulation and other Machiavelian techniques."

The Rainbow Sash Movement has called for protests in churches throughout the United States in favor of Gay rights and against Pope Benedict.

Fr. Carr tells TCRNews, "I am calling people to pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday. I feel that is the best way to fight this. May I request that you call all your readers to pray between now and May 15th particularly between Ascencion Thursday and Pentecost Sunday for such an outpouring of the Holy Spirit around the world, especially in the USA."
Regardless of any real or implied threats that these anti-Catholic organization may have made, I think it is wise for all supporters of the Catholic Church and Pope Benedict XVI to follow Fr. Carr's advice and pray to the Holy Spriit for grace and guidance in the months and years to come.

Aimee Carevich is my sister. She is not trying to stage a coup or overthrow Benedict. Although I did get a big laugh out of the article, the organization she works for is obviously misunderstood by some people.
Just to be clear on this, I did say in my original post that I did not think that this was the "smoking gun" that the good Father thought it might have been. In other words, although the writer may have thought, and perhaps justly so, that VOF and other similar organizations may promote an aggressive agenda against the Catholic Church, I was not totally convinced that the evidence was there.
That being said, my own personal opinion is that VOF and the other organizations in question do not have as their mission the promotion of authentic Catholic teaching and spirituality. Instead, they seem to aggressively promote radical changes within the Church, changes which if implemented would cause the Church to cease to be what it is.
So, although there may be some misunderstanding on the part of the writer as to the degree of the radicalism, I stand by my original post that VOF warrants a very close look before any Catholic joins or supports it's agendas.
