Naptime at the USCCB | National Catholic Reporter

Naptime at the USCCB | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I would add the environment to the list.  Glad of the Kurtz statement, which I bet is staff driven.   The lack of a mention of Francis and the Synod makes me wonder how the feedback process is going.   As for religious freedom on the agenda, no one seems willing to call out the bishops for wanting religious power, not religious freedom.  Of course, once that is made clear the issue is gone except among the really old guard.  Like Cordileone, whose flock should be able to remove him, since the Nuncio cannot.  I know MSW is frightened of such talk since what would the Church be without authority from the top, but there it is.  As for the executive session, I suspect they talked about November's meeting in Baltimore.  That probably really was a sleeper.  Always fun to have a meeting to plan a meeting, but maybe it can be provincials only.  Now that would be fun.
