In an effort to safeguard the truth, and to ensure it is preserved and faithfully transmitted in our diocese for all generations, we have had a diocesan speaker policy and appropriate procedures for reviewing all presentations on faith and morals in place since 2010. I have asked members of my staff to review that policy and to refine it wherever needed, based on our experience of recent years and in light of all applicable canons of the Church. The documents here: The General Executory Decree Regarding Presentations on Faith and Morals, applicable forms, and supplemental materials are the fruits of this initiative.
While it remains my responsibility that presentations in the diocese regarding faith and morals are in full accord with the truth of God, I need your help to achieve the objectives outlined by this decree. To that end, I ask that you share this important decree and accompanying forms with those with whom you work and those who will need to know and utilize their contents.
