If the church waits on the USCCB it will wait forever. Until the laity stop worshiping the hierarchy and begin making their voices heard, nothing will happen. Empty words.  The laity have only two ways to be heard - stop going to mass and/or stop giving money to the church. At the parish level they should set up 501(c) corporations to pay the bills of the parish, keeping money out of the hands of the bishops.  As a male, you apparently don't yet get that shutting out women (as shown by only 8 female faces in the photo) is one of the things that is killing the RCC in the developed nations.  Young adult women are leaving in greater numbers than the young adult men - the first time ever. Women carry the church at the parish level - but have no voice unless the priest is willing to listen. Few of the new priests respect the laity, especially the women. After all, they have been led to believe in their 'ontological superiority". Forget the USCCB - it is not their church and they do nothing.
