	Correction Hartford Courant March 20, 2009 http://www.courant.com/news/corrections/hc-correction0320.artmar20,0,364749.story An op-ed Sunday by Anne Hendershott of The King's College in New York, "Catholic Dissidents Pressing for Liberalization of Church Authority," misstated official positions of Voice of the Faithful, an organization of Catholics that supports victims of clergy abuse and seeks increased lay participation in the church. Contrary to Ms. Hendershott's claims, VOTF had no role in drafting a bill at the state legislature to change how Catholic corporations are formed. Also, the national VOTF does not advocate for "reducing the power of the Catholic hierarchy, eliminating the requirement for priestly celibacy and supporting the ordination of women," as Ms. Hendershott claimed, although the organization has called for debate on the celibacy question and on the role of women in church ministry and governance. The Courant regrets the errors.
