About the author

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is the episcopal conference of the Catholic Church in the United States. Founded in 1966 as the joint National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and United States Catholic Conference (USCC), it is composed of all active and retired members of the Catholic hierarchy (i.e., diocesan, coadjutor, and auxiliary bishops and the ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter) in the United States and the Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands. In the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the bishops in the six dioceses form their own episcopal conference, the Puerto Rican Episcopal Conference (Spanish, Conferencia Episcopal Puertorriqueña). The bishops in U.S. insular areas in the Pacific Ocean – the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of American Samoa, and the Territory of Guam – are members of the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific (Latin, Conferentia Episcopalis Pacifici).

The USCCB adopted its current name in July 2001. The organization is a registered corporation based in Washington, D.C. As with all bishops' conferences, certain decisions and acts of the USCCB must receive the recognitio, or approval of the Roman dicasteries, which are subject to the immediate and absolute authority of the Pope.

5 stars bc I’m afraid I’ll get smited for anything less

I read it (technically I read the RSV-2CE translation) front to back by reading along with the Bible in a Year podcast, and I can confidently say that I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this without the podcast. There’s not much else to say other than I’m very glad that I completed my first read through, and I’m excited to do it again next year. I highly recommend the podcast, regardless if you’re Catholic or not, to anyone who wants to read through the Bible but is intimidated to.







***MAJOR SPOILER BELOW***

I can’t believe they killed the main character and brought him back.

Finished reading the Bible in a year challenge... And it only took me three years!

It's crazy how little of the Bible that I had read throughout my life. I sped through some sections, but for me this was an exercise in just getting more familiar with God and Salvation History.

I'm eventually going to go more slowly through these books again and really pray with them.
