US Bishops retreat at Mundelein Seminary will not discuss abuse; "strictly be a time for prayer, fasting and spiritual lectures."

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago says when bishops from around the United States gather in a suburban seminary next month, they won't talk about a state investigation that found Illinois dioceses failed to disclose the names of at least 500 clergy accused of sexually abusing children.

Archdiocese spokeswoman Anne Maselli tells the Chicago Tribune that the retreat hosted by Cardinal Blase Cupich at Mundelein Seminary will "strictly be a time for prayer, fasting and spiritual lectures."

What?  This can't be right, I can only presume both spiritual works and discussions are happening.
