Has the USCCB even announced the hotel at which the meetings will take place?

The semi-annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will be held at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas, Texas, from June 13 to June 15.

They are NOT going to entertain speeches from outside interest groups.

No, but you can still make your voice heard as follows:

Most Reverend Wilton D. Gregory
President
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
3211 4th Street, N.E.
Washington, DC 20017-1194 Tel: (202) 541-3000

or

Most Reverend Wilton D. Gregory

c/o Diocese of Belleville
222 South Third Street
Belleville, IL 62220

Tel: (618) 277-8181
Fax: (618) 277-0387

Happy FReeping! : )

The Fairmont Hotel? There wasn't a Holiday Inn available?

Or did they consider, now that school is out, staying in a couple of dorms at the University of Dallas and meet in Lynch Hall?

I've never stayed at a Fairmont; my company makes me stay at Hampton Inns.

At a time like this, with kleig lights focused on them, the Catholic Bishops of the United States are going to be staying at the most exclusive hotel in Dallas?
