New Video Series from Archbishop Ronald Hicks Encourages Catholics to ‘Disagree Without Disrespect’

The New York State Catholic Conference is launching a video series titled “Disagree Without Disrespect” starting Oct. 6. Archbishop Ronald Hicks of the Archdiocese of New York features in the series to offer guidance on how Catholics can engage in difficult conversations while remaining faithful to Church values.

Archbishop Hicks says Catholics have a responsibility to share moral teachings and speak out on important faith issues. He suggests using these voices to defend human life and support the poor, the vulnerable, and immigrants. The series teaches that civility involves participating in public life while recognizing the dignity of every person, even those with whom Catholics strongly disagree.
