CUF.org :: Catholics United for the Faith

From Our Founder

Catholics United for the Faith has offered assistance to the Catholic bishops in the United States in their great work of furthering the all-important renewal which the Documents of the Council call for and which Pope Paul VI described as an inner, personal, moral renewal. This purpose, which is first in importance, and which is a prerequisite for the others, means that we exist in order to respond publicly and together to what Vatican II called the universal call to holiness. This spiritual renewal must be realized by the response of large numbers of the laity to the call to perfection, by an awakening to the depth and totality of Christ�s call; it means a real conversion into that leaven, that salt, that light which Christ asks us to be.
