Timothy Broglio

Its flagship event, the annual summer conference in Napa Valley, attracted over seven hundred participants, including more than fifteen, fifteen bishops in July 2026.

Prominent prelates associated with the institute include Archbishops Paul Coakley, Salvatore Cordileone, and Timothy Broglio, as well as Bishop Thomas Paprocki, and in the past, Bishop Barron, all of whom hold or have held positions on its elect ecclesiastical advisory bodies.

Now, I don't know if Bishop Barron did or not, but I know he's gone to this event.

Coakley, who is currently president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, serves as the institute's ecclesiastical advisor, while Mike Warsaw, chairman and CEO of EWTN, sits on its board of directors.

Also today, the archbishop for the US military is urging Catholic troops to seek recusal from Fort Hood shooter Nadel Hassan's firing squad.

Archbishop Timothy Broglio called the Pentagon's planned live stream a public spectacle.

He said any Catholics assigned to the firing squad should request to be excused, calling the action contrary to the teaching of the church.

Finally, House Speaker Mike Johnson says he expects Republicans to keep him as GOP leader, even if the party loses the House majority in November.

love Archbishop Coakley, had a fantastic interview with him, but he came out and expressed his horror that this would that live streaming would be even on the table.

Archbishop Broglio, who's the head of the military archdiocese, he even went so far as to say that Catholics who were called to the firing squad should decline to participate in the execution.

And about the same time...

Didn't he say they should be allowed to voice their conscience if they don't want to participate? He didn't say they shouldn't participate.

Catholic Church long been opposed to the death penalty, so that's not a surprise, but good on him for speaking out against this in particular.

One archbishop, uh, Timothy Broglio, who oversees-

Mm

...

President Obama said publicly that it didn't want the images used as incitement or propaganda.

And here's the question Brad, I think, asks that's most important: How many kids will watch the live stream of Hassan's execution? Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who heads up the archdi- the archdiocese for the military services, has put the matter succinctly.

Will the exposure of a live stream to the young and impressionable during the 250th anniversary year of our independence be able to be repaired? The US military generally enjoys a good reputation in the world.

Is there really a value to throwing them in the same boat with terrorists by broadcasting the image of the execution of a man in a wheelchair to the whole world? Does this decision reflect the dignity of the human person? The current administration has had a tendency to engage in impulsive expressions of masculinity because it seems to believe Americans have become soft.

When billionaires play telephone with democracy, it's less about the call and more about the dropped connections to reality.

Archbishop Broglio urges Catholics to avoid firing squads, condemns live execution stream.

Apparently, the church draws the line at combining medieval punishment with modern technology.

It's hard to find sanctity in a digital bloodbath.
