OBS

The CCCB is the national assembly of the Bishops of Canada. It was founded in 1943 and officially recognized by the Holy See in 1948. Since the Second Vatican Council, it became part of a worldwide network of Episcopal Conferences, established in 1965, as an integral part of the life of the universal Church. Up until 1977, it was called the Canadian Catholic Conference. The change reflects more clearly the fact that it is an association of Bishops.

OBS

Fondée en 1943 et reconnue officiellement par le Saint-Siège en 1948, la Conférence des évêques catholiques du Canada (CECC) est l'assemblée des évêques catholiques du Canada. Depuis le Concile Vatican II, elle fait partie du réseau des conférences épiscopales du monde entier établies en 1965 comme interlocutrices officielles de l'Église universelle. Jusqu'en 1977, la CECC portait le nom de Conférence catholique canadienne; la nouvelle appellation vise essentiellement à refléter la réalité associative des évêques.
