Celiac disease, health care, exorcism book on agenda for bishops’ meeting
Baltimore, Md., Nov 6, 2014 / 12:20 pm (EWTN News/CNA)
The reception of Communion by those with Celiac Disease, avoiding cooperation with evil in health care partnerships, and a possible English translation of an exorcism ritual book are among the topics to be discussed by the U.S. bishops at their fall meeting next week.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will meet Nov. 10-13 in Baltimore for its annual fall General Assembly.
The bishops will celebrate Mass at the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary to recognize the 225th anniversary of the establishment of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the conference announced.
Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville will offer his first presidential address to the bishops since being elected to head the conference last year. In addition, the apostolic nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, will speak to the bishops gathered at the conference.
The bishops will hear a presentation on the Year of Consecrated Life, which the Church will celebrate Nov. 30, 2014 – Feb. 2, 2016. They will also hear about underserved communities and Catholic schools within the country.
Among the liturgical items to be considered by the bishops is a revision to the Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments with Persons with Disabilities. A request has been made to update the 1995 document in light of medical developments such as the prevalence of Celiac Disease, which prevents an individual from eating wheat and can therefore make reception of Communion difficult.
In addition, the bishops will vote on a first-ever English translation for the ritual book, “Exorcisms and Related Supplications,” originally promulgated in Latin.
