The meetings will, no doubt have very tight security, and the Call to Action people won't get anywhere near the bishops....They are NOT going to entertain speeches from outside interest groups.

Maybe not, but you can bet if these people are on site, they'll be making their presence known and be splashed all over the press as 'official' spokesmen for the Catholic Church. Their spin will be the one that the ordinary Catholic in Scanton, Detroit, and Tacoma sees.

I think it would be great if local Dallas Catholics could get together SPECIFICALLY to protest groups like Call-to-Action and call upon the Bishops to remove dissenters from any position of authority.

That would be a necessity, since the bishops have not the courage or will to do so.
