The acceptance on the part of Catholic Charities of a sum of money raised by the Voice of the Faithful was done without the agreement of the Archdiocese of Boston. The earlier restriction which Cardinal Law had placed on receiving these monies had not been rescinded at the time of this action, nor has it been at this time.

The Archdiocese of Boston very much wishes to continue the conversations it has been having with the Voice of the Faithful concerning certain aspects of its stated purpose.

Certainly, the Archdiocese acknowledges the good faith of the individuals who made the contributions which went into this sum of money.
