Steubenville and Columbus diocesan merger back on the table
'Very preliminary discussions' are underway, according to the Ohio bishops involved.
Two Ohio dioceses have announced that preliminary discussions are underway regarding the prospect of merger — after controversy over that idea stymied a 2022 consultative vote at the U.S. bishops’ conference.
The discussions are taking place at the request of the apostolic nuncio, the statement suggested.
