Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg has been nominated to chair one of the 16 standing committees of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops when the bishops meet in Baltimore starting Nov. 16.
Rhoades is in the running for the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth.
Also up for the seat is Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas, who recently made headlines when he told former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (a Catholic and supporter of abortion rights -- now U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services) not to present herself for Communion.
