At the conclusion of a three-day meeting, the permanent council of
the Italian Episcopal Conference outlined four priorities to help guide
the conference's future actions.The priorities include the “way of planning” in addressing changing conditions in the world of labor; the “way of renewal” for the clergy, through ongoing formation; the “way of reform” of ecclesiastical courts, in accord with the documents of Pope Francis; and the “way of cooperation” among dioceses as they consider the reorganization of boundaries.
