Una Voce on same page as the Catholic Church

As president of Una Voce-Buffalo, I strongly take exception to some of the criticisms the Rev. Msgr. John Ryan made in his recent letter. His opinion of Una Voce is a warped one. I would suggest that he reread the Second Vatican Council’s document on the laity’s role in the church and Canon Law. He should also go to www.unavoce.org and read the organization’s mission statement. The members of Una Voce are not “spiritual Luddites,” nor have I ever been to a tea party, I am a coffee drinker. As far as the charge that we want to undo the Second Vatican Council, I believe our position is in line with Pope Benedict’s, which is that the council be interpreted in line with tradition and the preceding councils of the church.
I have two papal blessings in my home, one from Pope Paul VI from when I was married in 1968 and the other from Pope Benedict XVI. I can see no reason for anyone to believe that Una Voce is not on the same page as the Catholic Church. Unlike the Campaign for Human Development, we have never financially supported the controversial ACORN.
