Cardinals, archbishops, and bishops from more than a dozen countries attended the Twenty Seventh Workshop for Bishops this week, sponsored by The National Catholic Bioethics Center in collaboration with the Knights of Columbus. The event held every two years is one of the largest gatherings of Catholic bishops outside of their own national conference meetings, and has been regularly held in Dallas for nearly 40 years.
This year's conference addressed foundational issues in health care reform, delivery, and the theology of Catholic health care. Additional presentations discussed the role of bishops in Catholic health care, as well as other key issues for Catholic identity and ethics in health care.
A number of distinguished scholars and speakers offered the presentations, and several staff members of the NCBC also addressed the gathered bishops, including NCBC President Dr. Joseph Meaney, and NCBC President Emeritus, Dr. John Haas.
Dr. John Haas speaks at the 2020 Bishops' Workshop in Dallas as Dr. Joseph Meaney looks on.
