in sounds quite a bit like CFFC, We Are Church, etc.

That's what I'm afraid of. And it is really picking up steam as the bishops procrastinate. I know several GOOD Catholics who are not savy about the liberal agenda groups you metioned, who are being attracted to this new group.

This from the Globe article:

The group is determined, at this stage, to avoid taking positions on controversial questions such as the ordination of women. The group is consciously trying to distance itself from a raft of liberal reform groups that have sprung up over the years and have little influence in the church, and from the handful of protest groups that have been formed in the last few months to stage demonstrations against Law.(emphasis added)

One hopes that this group remains focused on cleaning up the Archdiocese of Boston and doesn't get hijacked by Frances Kissling types in sheeps clothing. Until they make their positions known on ordination of women, celibacy of the priesthood, rejection of homosexuals for the priesthood, etc., I would proceed with caution. If they are orthodox in their beliefs then more power to them.

Me too. I grew up in the town next door. Wellesley used to be a town of blue blood Republicans. But they've been invaded by the Newton-style yuppies. The town is becoming more and more PC. Kind of like a wealthier Brookline.
