Catholic Bishops' Conference

A Catholic Bishops' Conference is a formal assembly of all the bishops within a specific country or region, who come together to coordinate and guide the Church’s mission locally. They discuss issues like pastoral care, social justice, and church policies, ensuring consistency and unity in church teachings and actions. While they do not have direct authority over individual bishops' decisions, they provide guidance, set priorities, and collaborate with the Vatican to address common concerns. In essence, it is a collective body that helps the Church adapt and serve effectively within its cultural and social context.
