The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has announced an unfinalized agenda for its fall meeting in Baltimore (November 13-16).
After hearing various updates, the bishops will discuss whether to approve a new introductory note and supporting materials for their election statement, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship.
The bishops will also consider a framework for indigenous ministry and discuss whether to support the English’ bishops petition to name St. John Henry Newman a doctor of the Church.
