VOTF - Voice of the Faithful by
Canon 212 ยง3 reminds church members of their responsibility to address issues of concern with their leaders: "According to the knowledge, competence, and prestige which they possess, they have a the right and even at times the duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion know tot the rest of the Christian faithful, with prejudice to the integrity of faith and morals, with reverence toward their pastors, and attentive to common advantage and the dignity of persons."
