Pope Francis has appointed San Diego’s Cardinal Robert W. McElroy—seen in Rome as one of the intellectual heavyweights in the U.S. hierarchy—as the new archbishop of Washington D.C.

San Antonio's Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller discussed the incoming Trump administration, synodality, the U.S. bishops’ anti-poverty program and his health.

According to Sister Norma Pimentel, she and Bishop Daniel Flores share an emphasis on a pastoral approach.

Despite his removal, Bishop Joseph E. Strickland has remained an outspoken detractor of Pope Francis, both online and at various events organized by Catholic laity opposed to the Holy Father.

In their “Faithful Citizenship” document, the bishops should recognize options like the American Solidarity Party and challenge the assumption that we must choose between Democrats and Republicans.

Bishop John Cummins had a significant and lasting impact on the Catholic Church in his own diocese and elsewhere through his quiet leadership and ministry. He was a reminder to many of what Pope Francis meant when he called for bishops who are “pastors, not princes.”
