This tongue-in-cheek question serves as the inspiration behind a Catholic co-working space, coming soon to the Knights of Columbus Hall in downtown Denver. The space, currently being renovated, would be one of few such collectives in the nation; organizers said that the only other they could find was in Cleveland, Ohio.
