Vatican City, Aug 7, 2015 \/ 12:35 pm (CNA<\/a>).- Originally selected as an alternate synod delegate, Archbishop Blase Cupich of Chicago will in fact be an attendee at the Vatican gathering on the family this fall, a Vatican source told CNA.<\/p>\n

\tThe source also said that another American bishop will likely be chosen to attend as well, bringing the total U.S. delegation of bishops up to six.<\/p>\n

\tThe Synod on the Family, which will be held at the Vatican in October, will bring together bishops from around the world to discuss a wide variety of matters related to marriage and family across the globe.<\/p>\n

\tLast fall, the U.S. bishops selected delegates to represent them at the upcoming synod.<\/p>\n

\tThey chose Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville and Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, the president and vice-president respectively of the U.S. bishops\u2019 conference, as well as Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, who is hosting the 2015 World Meeting of Families and Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles, the highest-ranking Hispanic bishop in the country, who leads the nation\u2019s largest diocese.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Cupich was originally selected as an alternate, along with Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, who heads the U.S. bishops\u2019 defense and promotion of marriage subcommittee.<\/p>\n

\tDelegates must be approved by the Vatican. In addition to those elected by their fellow bishops, candidates can be proposed for the Pope\u2019s approval by the Office of the Synod of Bishops, led by Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri.<\/p>\n

\tWith the official announcement of Archbishop Cupich\u2019s appointment, the slate of lay delegates is also expected. At last year\u2019s synod, a number of married couples from around the world were invited as auditors
