The special assembly was set to begin Monday evening with Vespers, an opening address by Archbishop Fisher, a reception, dinner, and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
The measure passed by a vote of 168 to 55, with six abstentions.

The proposed document “isn’t anything brand new,” Bishop Burbidge said on Wednesday, at a press conference following the USCCB proceedings. “It’s what the Church has always taught in the Eucharist.”
