The U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops has been very active in the last couple of
weeks, sharing reactions to the Synod on the New Evangelization, responding to US
election results, and in hosting their annual fall meeting, where many important
propositions were discussed and voted on.
Check out this article about USCCB’s new strategic road map for the
New Evangelization, called “Journey with Christ: Faith/Worship/Witness.”
Also, this reaction to recent initiatives legalizing same-sex
marriage is worth reading. It reports on the November 7 statement published by Archbishop
Salvatore J. Cordileone of San Francisco, chairman of the USCCB Subcommittee for the
Promotion and Defense of Marriage, who said: “In a society marked by increasing
poverty and family fragmentation, marriage needs to be strengthened, promoted,
and defended, not redefined.”
Pope
Benedict XVI’s general intention for the month of November is that “bishops,
priests, and all ministers of the Gospel may bear the courageous witness of
fidelity to the crucified and risen Lord.” Let us pray for our bishops
then, that they may continue to be guided by the Holy Spirit.
