We, the Catholic bishops of Colorado, urge Congressional Representatives to support the Hyde Amendment and the Walden Amendment. We also ask the Faithful to sign The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) petition to lawmakers encouraging them to preserve the Hyde Amendment, which can be accessed at: NoTaxpayerAbortion.com , and to contact their Congressmen and women to support the Hyde and Walden amendments.

On July 1, 2021, the Biden Administration ordered a halt of all federal executions. The Justice Department will review the policies and practices of federal execution during the moratorium, including the use of barbiturate pentobarbital for lethal injections after reports that it caused severe pain following the injection. The temporary pause follows the Trump Administration’s decision to resume federal executions in 2019 with the last execution occurring earlier this year.

Is there a Catholic way to dress? Well, there’s no Catholic uniform (at least apart from school plaid). An early Christian of the second century said as much when writing a letter to Diognetus: “With regard to dress, food and manner of life in general, [Christians] follow the customs of whatever city they happen to be living in, whether it is Greek or foreign.” I have heard people take this sentiment too far, however, by saying, “God doesn’t care about what I wear.” To dress

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini is a beacon of hope and life, the general superior of the order founded by the saint, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, wrote Tuesday to mark the 75th anniversary of the foundress’ canonization. Saint, lover of Christ, businesswomen, entrepreneur, advocate for the vulnerable, audacious, servant, educator, hard worker, mother… St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, lived prophetically, a woman beyond her time, human and humanizing, and until

Starting this week, the House Appropriations Committee will consider their Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations bills. Unfortunately, House Democrat leadership on the committee has already excluded important bipartisan, pro-life provisions from their proposals. Specifically, three, decades-old proposals were eliminated, including provisions to prohibit taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions in Washington D.C., through foreign aid, and for federal employee health plans

His tireless life of service, humble, gentlemanly demeanor and shining intellect exemplify why his is called “the greatest generation.” In a recent surprise ceremony, 102-year-old Jesuit Father Ed Flaherty finally got the medals he earned but never received for his World War II military service. “I was sort of stunned,” Father Flaherty told the Denver Catholic by telephone from St. Louis, Mo. “And also embarrassed. It was a shock.” On the morning of June 18, U.S. Rep. Ed Pe

The idea that one simply “finds” God in nature, perhaps like a friend waiting patiently on a park bench, seems to strike a dissonant chord with my own experience. There is evidence to support my intuition. Many people outside of the
