Summary

In recent years the bishops of the United States have taken public positions on numerous domestic and international issues and have articulated these positions not only in statements but in congressional testimony, meetings with government officials, and similar efforts. Yet relatively few Americans are aware of this activity. Typically, bishops' statements are published in pamphlet form and receive passing coverage in the secular press. Although the bishops' advocacy has been forthright and frequently effective, it is not too widely recognized. This volume is intended as a record of the bishops' stands on social and political questions issued between 1966 and 1980. It contains statements on domestic and foreign policy by the USCC, the NCCB, the USCC Administrative Board, the NCCB/USCC Executive Committee, the USCC Committee on Social Development and World Peace, and the USCC Department of Social Development and World Peace.
