Read the letter then click on the "sign" link.
Catholic Women's Forum has penned a letter to the pope asking for answers following the release of the Archbishop Vigano report. I've signed the letter and I urge all faithful Catholic moms, grandmoms, working women, consecrated religious, etc. to sign it as well.

  1. Great letter! I did signed it and pass it on to everyone I thought would sign. I saw yesterday that 25,000 women had signed it, so...would he respond? or will once more be silent?
