In previous blogs I have  accused the world of having lost its mind . Today I will accuse the world of having lost its memory. I will do so, however, in order to set the scene for discussing how the Holy Spirit intervenes to keep us from this collective amnesia and its consequent proble

By a nun of the Abbey of St. Walburga “My dearest daughters, the two of you give witness today, in the midst of the darkness of the times, to the truth of the light of Jesus Christ. You are light and salt in the time in which we live.” These words, spoken by Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila, were directed at the two newest solemnly professed members of the Abbey of St. Walburga, Virginia Dale, Colorado, during his homily during the Eucharistic Celebration on August 15, 2021, the S

A historically African-American parish in Denver was robbed Monday night of a number of valuables, most notably the tabernacle and several consecrated hosts. Thieves plundered Curé d’Ars Catholic Church and made off with all the church’s vessels used for Mass from the vestry, which they accessed by kicking in a wooden door. They also took a laptop used for livestreaming Masses, and a sound board used to connect to the church’s microphones. Father Joseph Cao, the church’s pas

In doing so, Denver joined a growing list of cities in the US hosting a year-round prayer vigil rather than a fall and spring campaign of 40 Days.  “God has shown us through tens of thousands of saved babies (i.e. miracles) that prayer is our most powerful

Photo by Adam Boyle on Unsplash The Catholic Church, along with every major Protestant denomination, has witnessed a precipitous decline in Church attendance. This slide, set off during the 1960s, has accelerated with the rapid rise of the “nones,” Americans claiming no religious affiliation. We could wonder, has the bottom fallen out with this huge exodus? Or put more theologically, has Christ abandoned his Church? Moments of crisis test us, calling us to exercise great hope

We, the Catholic bishops of Colorado, consistent with  our previous letters on COVID-19 vaccines, affirm that the use of some COVID-19 vaccines is morally acceptable under certain circumstances. Throughout the pandemic we have cooperated with the various secular authorities and encouraged Catholics to help each other, and the broader society, remain healthy and safe during this challenging time. We understand that some individuals have well-founded convictions that lead them

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
