Dearden, has encouraged widespread lay participation in the internal affairs of his big archdiocese, and has been remarkably successful as president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in the U.S. Pittsburgh's Bishop John J. Wright, one of the most articulate theologians in the U.S. hierarchy, played a significant role in shaping several documents of Vatican II.
