The organization’s own web site asks that question and answers it:
A. Voice of the Faithful does not have a hidden "liberal" or "conservative" agenda for Church reform.
That’s nice to know. And here we thought VOTF was run by dissident Catholics.
Q. Is Voice of the Faithful schismatic or heretical?
A. No. Voice of the Faithful is firmly committed to bringing about meaningful reform from within the Catholic Church. We have no intention of, or desire to, found a new church.
We are also in no way heretical. We have no interest in challenging Church dogma.
All very reassuring. Now let’s take a look at the latest VOTF newsletter, and see what meetings are listed on the calendar. Here’s a good one:

Now if you can just tell me how you advocate the ordination of women without challenging Church dogma, and introduce me to a few “conservative” members of the Women’s Ordination Conference, all my questions will be answered.
