They will also elect new chairmen for six standing committees of the Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president and vice president are elected from a slate of 10 candidates who have been nominated by their fellow bishops. They are as follows (in alphabetical order):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, Archdiocese for the Military Services<\/li><li>Bishop Michael F. Burbidge, Diocese of Arlington<\/li><li>Bishop Frank J. Caggiano, Diocese of Bridgeport<\/li><li>Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, Archdiocese of Oklahoma City<\/li><li>Archbishop Salvatore J.

Rhoades, Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The president and vice president are elected to three-year terms, which begin at the conclusion of this year\u2019s General Assembly. At that time, Archbishop Jos\u00e9 H. Gomez of Los Angeles, and Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron of Detroit, will complete their terms as president and vice president, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The by-laws of the USCCB provide that the first election is that of the president by simple majority vote of members present and voting. Following the election of the president, the vice-president is elected from the remaining nine candidates. In either election, if a candidate does not receive more than half of the votes cast on the first ballot, a second vote is taken. If a third round of voting is necessary, that ballot is a run-off between the two bishops who received the most votes on the second ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the meeting, the bishops will also vote for new chairmen of six USCCB standing committees: Committee on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance; Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs; Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis; Committee on International Justice and Peace; Committee on the Protection of Children and Young People; and the Committee on Religious Liberty. The six committee chairmen elected will serve for one year as chairman-elect before beginning a three-year term at the conclusion of the bishops\u2019 2023 Fall General Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nominees for chairman-elect are as follows (alphabetical order):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>COMMITTEE ON CANONICAL AFFAIRS AND CHURCH GOVERNANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Bishop Thomas John Paprocki, Diocese of Springfield in Illinois<\/li><li>Bishop Alfred A. Schlert, Diocese of Allentown<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>COMMITTEE ON ECUMENICAL AND INTERRELIGIOUS AFFAIRS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Bishop Joseph C. Bambera, Diocese of Scranton<\/li><li>Bishop Peter L. Smith, auxiliary bishop, Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>COMMITTEE ON EVANGELIZATION AND CATECHESIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Archbishop Charles C. Thompson, Archdiocese of Indianapolis<\/li><li>Bishop William D. Byrne, Diocese of Springfield in Massachusetts<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>COMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE AND PEACE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Archbishop Nelson J. P\u00e9rez, Archdiocese of Philadelphia<\/li><li>Bishop Abdallah Elias Zaidan, MLM, Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>COMMITTEE ON PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Bishop Barry C. Knestout, Diocese of Richmond<\/li><li>Bishop Elias R. Lorenzo, OSB, auxiliary bishop, Archdiocese of Newark<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>COMMITTEE FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Archbishop Salvatore J.

Rhoades, Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As elections for president and vice president of the Conference are also taking place at this meeting, should any of the candidates for committee chairmanship be elected to fill to a higher office, the bishops\u2019 Committee on Priorities and Plans will convene to nominate a new candidate for that committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the U.S. bishops gather in November for their Fall General Assembly (November 14-17), they will elect the next president and vice president for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
