Bishops: ‘We Are Our Brothers’ Keepers’

“We are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers. We are all in this together,” said Chicago’s Cardinal Francis E. George today in Baltimore.

Catholic News Service, reporting from the Baltimore meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said Cardinal George, the bishops’ president, told the gathering that “hard times can isolate us or they can bring us together.”

The Cardinal’s statement was drafted during the annual fall meeting. CNS said the statement was “approved by the body of bishops in a voice vote Nov. 11.”
