CATHOLIC WATCHDOG GROUP TO CONDUCT MEETING OF ALBANY CATHOLICS

An international group of faithful Roman Catholics has scheduled a
public meeting in Albany to discuss its ongoing investigation of the
Albany Catholic Diocese.

Stephen G. Brady, president of the Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc.
(RCF) issued a statement on Wednesday that he will arrive in Albany
from RCF's headquarters in Petersburg, Illinois, on Saturday
evening, February 21. The meeting will take place at the Crowne Plaza
Hotel, Albany City Center, State & Lodge Streets, 10 Eyck Plaza,
Albany, NY 12207.

In 2001, Mr. Brady was entrusted by the recently-deceased Fr. John
Minkler with a confidential 1995 report of corruption in the Albany
diocese that Fr. Minkler had prepared for then-New York Cardinal
O'Connor. Fr. Minkler had been seeking RCF's assistance to
help bring about reformative changes in the Albany diocese. RCF was
contacted by Fr. Minkler the day before his body was discovered in his
Watervliet home.

Joining Mr. Brady at the meeting will be Paul Likoudis, news editor
of The Wanderer, a weekly Catholic newspaper. For over 15 years, Mr.
Likoudis has probed the link between the homosexual revolutionists who
came to power in the early 1960s and the moral downfall of the Roman
Catholic Church. Fr. Minkler had been informing Mr. Likoudis about
problems in the Albany diocese for the last 13 years. Mr. Likoudis
spoke with Fr. Minkler shortly after Father's Friday meeting with
chancery officials, just two days before his body was found.

RCF is a not-for-profit lay organization, with many religious
members, dedicated to promoting orthodox Catholic teaching and
fighting heterodoxy and corruption within the Catholic hierarchy.
