The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will be holding their Fall General Assembly this week beginning Monday, November 16th. One may be able to watch the discussions and debates live on Telecare TV’s online feed at http://www.telecaretv.org/LiveTv.htm . You will likely need a high speed connection to be able to enjoy the live video. If the video does not work or is unavailable for free, feeds of the meetings will also be available on the USCCB Web site at http://www.usccb.org/meetings/2009Fall/#, and on their Twitter page at http://twitter.com/usccbmedia .
The Fall General Assembly meetings will take place on the following dates and times (all times EST):
Monday, November 16th: 1 PM – 6 PM
Tuesday, November 17th: 9 AM – 1 PM and 1:45 PM – 6 PM
Wednesday, November 18th: 9 AM – 11 AM
The topics to be discussed during these meetings include the proposed revisions to the English translation of the Roman Missal, a document on reproductive technologies, a report on traditional marriage, and other various items.
This should be an interesting few days. I know many eyes will be on Bishop Trautman to see if he attempts to derail the revised translation of the English version of the Roman Missal. Stay tuned to Cleansing Fire for updates throughout the Fall General Assembly.
