MGB:_Whether the paucity of an ageda is due to President DinNardo, Committee Chairs or USCCB staff is hard to say. I am sure that behind the scenes and on the floor, this will be discussed and corrected. The bishops know amongst themselves who pushed Trump last year as a pro-life candidate. I am sure that crowd will hear a few harsh words on their terrible choice, at least in the-context of the Pro-Life Activities Chair election. There should be more than a few words about the seemless garment of life, although I wish at least one bishop would raise the possibility that maybe Roe was decided correctly, given the constitutional law involved. Of course, if John Murray’s text for Dignitatis had not been watered down, we might even get a reasonable defense of Catholic Democrats.
On the translation of the Mass, I suspect the first shot to be fired will be rejecting the translation of the Rite of Baptism for Adults. Friends of Cardinal Sarah and his Dicastry can’t think that nothing will be said about this issue at the Conference, so I am sure they have a resolution for further study already drafted. I doubt they have the votes. The only question is whether the prior translation or the new translation proposed in 1998 will be passed and whether it will be immediately or a year from now.
It would be nice if the bishops who faced hurricanes this year said something about the environment. I am not sure Di Nardo has it in him.
