USCCB Meeting, Archbishop José Gomez (Nov. 16)

The bishops of the United States met this week in Baltimore and elected a new president for their episcopal conference. It was a historic moment for U.S. Catholics when Archbishop José Gomez was chosen as the first Latino head of the body of U.S. bishops. This week on Register Radio we catch up on what the bishops discussed and then we talk to the USCCB’s head of Integral Development Jonathan Reyes for an insider’s take.

People Explain ‘Why I Go to Mass’

‘Why go to Mass on Sundays? It is not enough to answer that it is a precept of the Church. … We Christians need to participate in Sunday Mass because only with the grace of Jesus, with his living presence in us and among us, can we put into practice his commandment, and thus be his credible witnesses.’ —Pope Francis
