With #USCCB21 getting underway, I’m outside at “The Men’s March, where participants tell me they want bishops to speak out more clearly on abortion.

Participants prayed at Planned Parenthood, walked to the hotel where the bishops meet, and are now praying the rosary. Two bishops are in attendance, and led decades of the rosary.

I’ll bring you a full story when things conclude.

Now I am at “a prayerful witness” by a coalition of groups “opposed to the weaponization of communion.”

Participants told me that all people should be welcomed at the Eucharistic table, and that they think bishops should be “pastors not politicians.”
