NOTE: If you would like a statement by an Eastern Rite bishop to be included please send me the link/document or post it in the comments! Thank you. I’m trying to provide documentation for all the bishops listed and Eastern Rite bishops have been harder for me to track down. Thank you for understanding!

UPDATE: There are 195 dioceses in the U.S. So almost 60% of U.S. Bishops who are the head of a diocese have spoken out so far.

Again, if you have any others which were not mentioned, send them to Thomas Peters at Catholicvote.org and ultimately this address list I will update.
