America Magazine, January 5-12, 2004: According to Thomas G. Plante:
"The growth, influence and active engagement of V.O.T.F. have been remarkable. . . . The recent crisis forced the laity to be more assertive with their church, and groups like Voice of the Faithful appear to be here to stay. This is good news, since it provides at least some degree of checks and balances on church authorities. A lively, active and involved laity can, in the end, only be productive for the church."
