U.S. bishops advance pastoral initiatives to strengthen church amid discussions on Eucharist, priesthood, synodality

ORLANDO, Fla. (OSV News) -- Meeting in Orlando for their spring assembly, the U.S. bishops moved ahead on some efforts to advance the church's mission in the U.S., including new pastoral initiatives aimed at activating Catholics as missionary disciples. The gathering's June 15-16 plenary sessions proved relatively smooth, but featured moments of vigorous discussion at a few points, particularly around the formation of priests.
