The Pope is entitled to his opinion

During the just completed USCCB General Assembly there was an initial report of a large survey on the views of some segments of the laity in the pews. The video can be found at http://www.usccb.org/about/leadership/usccb-general-assembly/video-on-demand.cfm. The video with this presentation is Day 2 Morning Session 3. There’s quite a bit of dead time at the beginning. The session being called to order and introductory remarks by Cardinal O’Malley run generally from 27:30 to 35:00. Archbishop Wenski gives an overview of the data from 35:00 to 58:00. Bishop Malone announces a convocation for July 2017 in Orlando in response to the data of the survey. Questions continue until about 1:20:00. CNA had a news article last week that gives an overview.  Screen captures of the slides used by Archbishop Wenski are reproduced below. 

Even for an initial update there is an awful lot to chew on in this presentation. I’ll do my due rumination and hopefully have another post with some thoughts in the next day or so. For Lay Dominicans I think there is much here to think about in terms of what and how we should be doing.
