Abstract
In July 2018, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops published the sixth edition of the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services. While only part 6 of the ERDs was revised, the revisions were substantial. These revisions strengthen the role of the local bishop, provide new guidance for assessing collaborative arrangements, and introduce a new consideration for assessment beyond the principles of cooperation and theological scandal—the witness of the Church. This article provides an initial overview of the revisions and some brief commentary on their significance.
