Yes, I've heard of it and I think they are a group to be "watchdogged." At first glance, they seemed OK to me, but then I started reading some things that the leader said (he is a cardiologist at a major Boston hospital, so he carries a lot of weight to some) - and I realized that this group is just another one out to change the church - not go back to our roots.

Check them out here: Voice of the Faithful

Look at their motto: "Keep the Faith, Change the Church" - they are trying to form groups nationwide. I was really annoyed at Cardinal Law last week when he gave the directive to priests to not support the newly forming lay groups - I think this is the group he was most concerned with, and when I realized this, I supported the Cardinal. Say what you will about Cardinal Law (and I probably agree) but he has been helpful over the years in not supporting (on church property) any group that does not adhere to church teaching.

Catholics are mad and hurting at the moment and I think a lot of us want to do something to help but joining in groups like this one will only damage the church, IMO.
