**On Synod, Archbishop Kurtz Calls for Unity between Catholic Beliefs and Pastoral Practice **
The USCCB president — who is a synod delegate — says the 2015 synod aims to address the challenges, yet also the beauty, of family life.

Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, Ky., the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, was recently named to be one of four U.S. delegates to the Ordinary Synod of Bishops on the Family, which will meet at the Vatican in October.
On March 16, he discussed the issues and questions related to the synod in the context of the Church’s New Evangelization at a public forum with John Grabowski, an associate professor and director of moral theology/ethics at The Catholic University of America and a member of the Pontifical Council for the Family.
Archbishop Kurtz, who has presented his synod views in other forums, spoke with Register senior editor Joan Frawley Desmond in advance of today’s event about the message he will bring to the synod, the criteria for changing Church discipline on reception of the Eucharist and the lessons he learned from media coverage of last year’s extraordinary synod.
