“Voice of the Faithful is trying to make sure parishioners have a meaningful say in the choice of the next archbishop of Chicago. To that end, VOTF has set up a Web site to solicit comments on who should succeed Cardinal Francis George (who turned 75 on Jan. 16). It says this effort is based on canon law 212, which states, ‘The Christian faithful are free to make known to the pastors of the Church their needs, especially spiritual ones, and their desires.'” By Paul Moses in dotCommonweal
