Active voice hides the doer of the action blocking communication?

No, it's the passive voice that does that, although the blocking of communication may be just what the speaker wants. "An altercation took place in the pastor's office and a number of swear words were spoken" hides the doer of the action (the person who was swearing) which may be what you want if it was in fact the pastor who was swearing like a trooper.

The cat was chased
This is a passive sentence. The doer of the action is not in the sentence. If you want to add the doer of the action (agent) then use by + noun or noun phrase.
The cat was chased by the neighbour's dog
Passive is used when the agent is not known or it is not necessary. This is useful when writing about processes.
