The production also *clarifies VOTFıs mission and purpose*, Schoettinger explained, which is:
1.
Support
the survivors of clergy sexual abuse.
2.
Support
priests of integrity and
3.
Shape
structural change within the church.
Voice of the Faithful is still try to clarify how
they will change the structure of The Church.
Faithful Voice.com has successfully exposed the underpinnings and the agenda of Voice of the Faithful
over the previous years.
We are in the process of determining what the
latest explanation of VOTFıs *Structural Change*.
VOTF , of late , have fallen from grace with the
media.
They have entered a quiet this period because VOTF
S relevance has declined.
Every once in a while Voice of the Faithful will
surface in the media by using well meaning , good people for the purpose of
promoting VOTF s agenda of dissent.
VOTF states that they * believe * that which The
Roman Catholic Church believes but have seldom raised their Faithful Voices
above a whisper in support of The Magisterium.
VOTF fails to acknowledge that the sexual abuse by priests is 97 percent Ephebophilia.
Voice of the Faithful also fails
to open their meetings to Faithful Voices that have positions that do not
promote their agenda.

ARCHDIOCESE With the hope it will serve as an educational tool,
promote dialogue in area parishes and raise awareness of the organizationıs
three-fold mission, the Cincinnati affiliate of Voice of the Faithful (VOTF)
has released a new DVD entitled "Faithful Voices."
David DeWitt was recently recognized by the Cincinnati affiliate of
Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) for his role in producing an informational and
educational DVD. Pictured here with DeWitt, second from left, are his father,
Tom, Bob Schoettinger, of Cincinnati VOTF, and his mother, Flo.
According to Bob Schoettinger, who serves on the local
affiliateıs outreach committee, the group believed there was a need for a
"real, human presentation," of the experiences of survivors of
clerical abuse, along with VOTFıs mission.
Working together with David DeWitt, a recent high-school
graduate and parishioner at St. Robert Bellarmine Chapel, the two set out to
accomplish this.
The project
took nine months and involved every aspect of production, said DeWitt,
including interviews with priests, VOTF members and abuse survivors.
"Watching the people we interviewed, hearing the emotion in their voices
and seeing the tears in their eyes was powerful," he said. "I think
the DVD will make people aware of the reality of the problem and that itıs something
we should all be concerned about."
The production
also clarifies VOTFıs mission and purpose, Schoettinger explained, which is to
support the survivors of clergy sexual abuse, support priests of integrity and
shape structural change within the church.
In recognition of DeWittıs initiative and involvement in
producing the DVD, Cincinnati VOTF recently presented the young man with
special award featuring a copy of it encased in plexiglass. DeWitt also
received the Simon Lazarus Award from the American Jewish Committee for his
efforts. "Both were a huge honor," he said.
The DVD is available for purchase by
individuals or groups at a cost of $7.95. For more information, contact Nan
Fischer, VOTF regional coordinator, at 513-708-8240.
