Russell Shaw, in an interview with Zenit, commenting on the USCCB admits that "some people in the conference say there's a lack of vision guiding the process."

Hopefully, that perceived lack of a guiding vision will end. There is great hope especially with the recent appointment of Tom Grenchik, formerly the head of the Archdiocese of Washington D.C. Pro-Life Office, as Executive Director of the USCCB Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities. Mr. Grenchik succeeds Gail Quinn who retired last August.

Mr. Grenchik has an "extraordinary record of achievement in the wide variety of issues which the Church must confront in its defense of human life and dignity," says Msgr. David Malloy, USCCB General Secretary.

The Catholic Pro-Life Committee congratulates Mr. Grenchik on his new appointment and we welcome the opportunity to work together in bringing about a Culture of Life.
