GUELPH, ON, Oct 24 (LSN.ca) - Catholic Women's League (CWL) life member Jakki Jeffs responded to the CWL president's letter threatening to revoke her Life Member status for speaking out against CWL support of the World March of Women.
Mrs. Jeffs challenged the CWL's claim that her signature on the Life Membership Application ... "affirmed implicit support and service to national council with loyalty to the League as called for in the League Promise.....". She notes "when I gave my promise to '... cooperate with League officers in all programs under their direction ...' I did so believing that my cooperation would never contradict my Faith ... However, by supporting the World March of Women 2000, I believe that the national executive has violated the objects of The Catholic Women's League of Canada and offended the teachings of our Roman Catholic Faith."
Responding to the charge that she spoke out publicly and frequently on the issue, Jeffs responds she has done so "because it has been made clear to me by the numerous communications I have received from CWL representatives and Spiritual Advisors at Parish, Regional, Diocesan and Provincial levels across Canada that they have been crying out to be heard by the national president, the national executive and the national council. Their claims are that they have not been heard or that their concerns have been rejected and - as a result - they feel betrayed by their duly elected national officers, a feeling that I share."
