The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord on March 25 will mark the fifth anniversary of the endeavor and the 30th anniversary of St. John Paul II’s pro-life encyclical that inspired it.
In a statement released by the bishops’ conference, Bishop Robert Barron and Bishop David O’Connell called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act ‘commonsense legislation that would ensure fairness for female athletes.’
This is the first time Archbishop Broglio has issued a Lenten reflection since he was elected USCCB president in 2022.
The USCCB sued the Trump administration earlier this week over what the bishops said was an unlawful suspension of funding for refugee resettlement and aid programs.
A new statement issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops opposes the president’s order and emphasizes that the focus should be on solving infertility issues rather than promoting IVF.
In their lawsuit, the USCCB notes that it has worked with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration for 'nearly half a century' in order to assist with refugee resettlement in the U.S.
Archbishop Broglio highlighted the importance of centering the issue on Christ.
A large portion of funding comes from grants through the federal U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) to help resettle refugees who have been vetted by the federal government.
Bishop Robert Barron released a statement in his capacity as chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth.
The bishops’ conference has partnered with the federal government on the issue for four and a half decades.
