U.S. bishops are asking for more security for houses of worship.

In a recently released letter to congress, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the head of the USCCB’s Committee for Religious Liberty, asked leaders for at least $200 million in federal funds for the “nonprofit security grant program.”

It provides funding support to nonprofit organizations that are at a high risk of a terrorist attack.

John Lavenburg, the national correspondent for The Tablet and Crux, joins Currents News to talk more about how Cardinal Dolan and the U.S. bishops are speaking up to protect the faithful.
