“I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father. Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls.” - Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, President, USCCB

"We need to make sure not just for this year, but for the long term, Catholic institutions are strong because of the work they do educating, serving the poor and providing hope to people in incredibly hopeless situations." @CathExtension @VillanovaU @LeadershipRound
One year into the COVID-19 crisis, already financially fragile dioceses and parishes find themselves in even more precarious situations as they look toward a post-pandemic world.
