The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops welcomed Laudate Deum (CWN analysis) with an atypical statement.
“USCCB President Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio has been on retreat with the Synod delegates and is participating in the opening sessions,” said James Rogers, the conference’s chief communications officer. “Archbishop Broglio and his brother bishops in the United States look forward to spending time with the exhortation in prayer and identifying ways to continue their shared witness on behalf of God’s creation.”
