Tony Meloto's Text Regarding Inquirer Article dated 18 May 2009

The headline of inquirer today is misleading and unfair to CFC members, catholics and the poor. As stated, there is no split or break in CFC and GK, just a change in membership in the board of GK. Whoever fed the misinformation to the bishops and to PDI have committed a grevious sin against the poor, against CFC and against all Catholics. Our people have suffered long enough from poverty, neglect and our failure to practice what the Church has been teaching us. They do not deserve to be deprived of care due to an internal transition in leadership which is designed to strengthen our mission of building the church of the poor. My covenant with Joe Tale is clear, there is no split, only greater solidarity between CFC and GK for God, country and the poor. No one has the right to remove GK from CFC whose members have made heroic sacrifices to create this noble work that has transformed lives and deepened faith. God bless you. - Tony Meloto
