CWN Editor's Note: Echoing a February letter to leaders of the House Agricultural Committee, the chairmen of two committees of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops warned that the Senate’s current Farm Bill proposal “falls short of the Farm Bill’s historic bipartisanship.”
Archbishop Shelton Fabre, chairman of the Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, and Bishop A. Elias Zaidan, chairman of the Committee on International Justice and Peace, weighed in on various aspects of the bill in a July 9 letter to the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture.
The head of Catholic Relief Services, Catholic Charities USA, Catholic Rural Life, and the National Council of the United States Society of St. Vincent de Paul joined the two prelates in signing the letter.
