U.S. bishops seek ‘transformational change’ through Institute on the Catechism

[Michie]

Bishop Frank J. Caggiano of Bridgeport, Conn., provided an update on the newly launched Institute on the Catechism to the U.S. Catholic bishops during their annual fall plenary assembly Nov. 15 in Baltimore, Md.

Housed within the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Secretariat for Evangelization and Catechesis, the outreach initiative launched in 2022 to “proclaim a kerygmatic, evangelizing catechesis to the Catholic faithful in the United States, through the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the guidance of the Directory for Catechesis.”

As chair of the bishops’ Subcommittee on the Catechism, which is responsible for the institute, Caggiano listed recent milestones: Father Daniel J. Mahan, a priest of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, began serving as director in July; a new handbook to guide writers and editors of the creation of catechetical resources is nearing completion; and an upcoming Institute on the Catechism Convocation will be held in Mundelein, Ill., June 17-20, 2024.

Does this include conservative bishops such as Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone and Raymond Cardinal Burke?

I'm actually a bit optimistic about this.

The Church is capable of and even proficient at writing and publishing beautiful statements of Holy Truth, wisdom and prudence! They write and then file them on a very dusty and unused shelf in the basement. What the People of God need, and deserve, is not unknown (in one sense of the word), or unrecorded, or unwritten - the needs are merely ignored, unpracticed, unprovided. I think - I speculate - that the people in charge, from the top on down at whatever level we are looking at, do not understand how to do what "we" believe. They know the right words - what those words actually mean and demand they must not understand.

If they knew, and understood, and do not do, I don't know how they could sleep at night.
