Public policy for 1 million+ Maryland Catholics: (Arch)dioceses of Washington, Baltimore & Wilmington
Pope Francis: "No one can demand that religion should be relegated to the inner sanctum of personal life, without influence on societal and national life, without concern for the soundness of civil institutions, without a right to offer an opinion on events affecting society." (Evangelii Gaudium, 2013)
Social media policy:
This is a place for respectful, charitable discussion. Comments should r
eflect Christian charity, be relevant to the post and be civil in tone. The Conference reserves the right to block or delete posts or comments that include incorrect information, offensive language or material, personal attacks, are excessively long or repeat posts or spam, or promote products or other items inconsistent with our mission. Thank you for helping ensure this remains a place of community.
