When U.S. bishops meet virtually next week, most eyes will be focused on a controversial vote related to the Eucharist that some fear politicizes Communion by taking aim at the nation’s second Catholic president.

And three other ways they can improve their Catholic voting guide before the next election.

Adoption and foster care, free speech and church vandalism are some of the topics of concern chosen by the U.S. bishops for Religious Freedom Week, which is set for June 22-29.

U.S. bishops came together for the first day of an emergency meeting on immigration at Mundelein Seminary outside of Chicago.

Archbishop Miller was “filled with deep sadness” after the bodies of more than 200 children were found buried on the site of what was once Canada’s large Indigenous residential school.

The back-and-forth messages follow an increasingly public debate among the bishops about Catholic politicians who support keeping abortion legal and whether they should be denied access to the Eucharist.
