The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) began this Monday, November 10, its Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore, where the prelates will elect their new president and vice president for the next three years, replacing Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio —military ordinary and current president— and Archbishop William E. Lori, outgoing vice president and Archbishop of Baltimore.
The elections are taking place in a context of clear contrasts within the American episcopate, in which, however, a conservative and doctrinally firm current predominates. Below, we present the profile of the ten candidate bishops and their orientations within the current ecclesiastical ideological spectrum.
