  <itunes:subtitle>As Catholics, we not only have the right to bring the light of the Gospel into the public square, but an obligation to do so. The Nebraska Catholic Conference represents the Church in matters of public policy pertaining to four key areas of concern: human life and dignity, education, marriage and family life, and social and human development. </itunes:subtitle>

  <description>"Because Jesus has sent us into the world to bring the light of the Gospel and to let it shine everywhere, the three bishops of Nebraska feel a responsibility to not only participate in the internal affairs of the church, but also to share the truth with our neighbors across this state," says Archbishop Lucas. "One of the ways in which we do that very effectively is through the work of the Nebraska Catholic Conference."
