For decades, the Catholic Church in the United States has operated with a widely accepted, but deeply flawed, assumption: that there are 70 million Catholics in America.

As we continue developing CaDRIS to serve the unique and sacred needs of the Church, one important question consistently comes up: Does CaDRIS comply with Canon Law? It’s a crucial consideration—and one we take very seriously. Rooted in First Principles Back in January, we took time to define and document our First Principles. These foundational…
