Pope Leo XIV was given the keys to the Church of St. Anselm on Rome’s Aventine Hill, a church whose history is closely tied to his namesake.

In his farewell address to his brother bishops, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio of the U.S. Archdiocese for the Military Services, outgoing president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, emphasized the need to “convince people to listen to each other” amid polarization.

Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City and Bishop Daniel E. Flores of Brownsville, Texas, were elected Nov. 11 as president and vice president, respectively, of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops at the bishops’ meetings in Baltimore.

In a message to Pope Leo XIV at the start of their fall plenary assembly in Baltimore, the U.S. bishops told the pope Nov. 11 that they “will continue to stand with migrants and defend everyone’s right to worship free from intimidation.”

Más de 320 obispos de todo Estados Unidos entraron en la Basílica del Santuario Nacional de la Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María en Baltimore el 10 de noviembre, donde se vistieron con ornamentos litúrgicos a juego para celebrar la misa del primer día de su asamblea plenaria anual de otoño.
