Monica, I appreciate very much your observations in your post. At the same time I would like to thank MSW for his perspective on the history of the USCCB and its previous iterations. This is the juncture where real dialogue must take place. "Does anyone care anymore" is a basic question and "is it possible to resurrect interest in the present and future generations for an organized church response" might be a place to begin. Luckily my wife, and thus my daughters, are Latinas, while I'm Boston Irish. Our dinner table conversations in Iowa, of all places, are lively, to say the least. Hopefully, the wider discussion can be as respectful yet challenging.
