“Forty conservative Catholic leaders are planning a Sept. 8 summit with several U.S. bishops to discuss their vision for the future of the church in the United States. The meeting is in part a reaction to a July 7 confab five bishops had with 32 centrist and liberal Catholics – to which conservatives were not invited. “We want to be helpful here, and we don’t want to just gripe,” said Deal Hudson, co-organizer of the summit and the editor of Crisis magazine. “We do not want to fit the stereotypes some bishops have of us.”
