(Part one of two)  Noting that an ad hoc committee is "the highest structural response possible" from the U.S. bishops, Bishop George Murry of Youngstown, Ohio, announced today that he will lead such a committee against racism, citing the need for "a concerted effort at this moment."—Heidi Schlumpf  Unimpressed.  I have no recollection of Bishop Murry at the National Black Catholic Congress XII in Orlando, July 6-7.  There is a half-page add on page 47 in the program from the Diocese of Youngstown that includes the name of Bishop Murry.  Murray was not listed as a presenter at the Congress.

Murry also chairs the bishops’ Committee on Catholic Education as the administration of The Catholic University of America continues to ignore the censure imposed by the American Association of University Professors in 1990 of abuse of professors.
