Catholic Bishops reconvene behind closed doors in Vatican

Bishops resumed closed-door meetings today on the state of the Catholic Church after the Vatican clamped down on releasing information because some prelates had expressed concern that details of their debates been made public.

Bishops continued hearing prepared speeches inside the Vatican’s synod hall early today, after meeting for the first time in small discussion groups yesterday that were expected to draft proposals for Pope Benedict XVI to consider after the conclusion of the Synod of Bishops.
