Italian Bishops' Conference

The Italian Bishops' Conference (Conferenza Episcopale Italiana) is a collective organization of Catholic bishops in Italy. It provides a forum for bishops to collaborate, coordinate church activities, and address religious, social, and ethical issues within Italy. The Conference helps organize pastoral programs, guide clergy, and promote doctrinal unity, ensuring that the Church's mission aligns with local needs. While bishops retain individual authority in their dioceses, the Conference fosters unity and collective decision-making for the broader Catholic community across Italy.
