U.S. bishops’ president Archbishop Timothy Broglio discusses his relationship with Pope Francis, the pope’s comments on the U.S. church and the status of ousted bishop Joseph Strickland.

Disagreement about how strongly to describe the bishops’ opposition to abortion mirrors a similar debate in 2019.

Two high-ranking church officials offered differing assessments of the U.S. church’s level of commitment to Pope Francis’s signature church renewal initiative on Tuesday.

Father John Beal, professor of canon law at The Catholic University of America, said that “the removal does not, of itself, entail any wrongdoing.”

As voters in the United States approach another presidential election, how can this synodal experience inform the ways that U.S. Catholics engage in political conversation?

An investigation into Strickland was launched only six weeks after the bishop tweeted that he rejects what he called Pope Francis’ “program of undermining the deposit of faith.”
