USCCB Plenary concludes in Baltimore

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Plenary Assembly concluded Wednesday in Baltimore. The three day meeting was the first under the Presidency of Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York.

The Bishops also had the chance to meet Archbishop Viganò the newly appointed Apostolic Nuncio to the US.

“I think we had a good opportunity not only in public session to hear about and discuss and ask questions about some of the things that we were doing”, says Los Angelus Auxiliary Bishop Gabino Zavala, who heads the USCCB communications committee.

The Bishop also told Lydia O’Kane that one of the things they approved was a financial document which emphasises the Bishops’ fiscal accountability, as well as discussions on the whole issue of religious liberty. Listen
