Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has died at the age of 95, bringing to a close the momentous life of a Churchman who proclaimed the “eternal joy” of Jesus Christ and called himself a “humble worker” in the vineyard of the Lord. His death was announced in Rome on Dec. 31. Cardinal Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger was elected pope on April 19, 2005, and took the name Benedict XVI. Eight years later, on Feb. 11, 2013, the 85-year-old shocked the world with the announcement — made in Latin —

A scene that’s sadly all too familiar to the United States, especially to Colorado, but quite foreign to idyllic Connecticut… Today we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, a mere 20 miles from where this very author grew up. This morning, the Archdiocese of Denver gathered in prayer to mark the morbid anniversary and to beg the Lord’s grace and nearness to those 26 who were killed, as well as all those injur

The proposal comes after news that late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart seeks to open an abortion clinic in the city. The proposal asks U.S. attorneys for the District of Colorado “to investigate and prosecute all abortion providers and abortion-pill distribution networks.” “We c

Oct. 11 marks the 60th anniversary of a monumental event in the history of the Catholic Church: the gathering in Rome of bishops from around the world for the start of the Second Vatican Council. Vatican II, as it is popularly known today, was not one long, singular meeting, but rather a complex series of four deliberative sessions held between 1962 and 1965. Nor was the council held for one, specific purpose, but rather many reasons, though aggiornamento — the desire to co

The first images from the James Webb space telescope reveal God’s creation and feed our souls, a Jesuit brother and astronomer said Thursday. “The images are gorgeous, as anyone can see for themselves. It’s a tantalizing glimpse of what we’ll be able to learn about the universe with this telescope in the future,” Brother Guy Consolmagno, director of the Vatican Observatory since 2015, said in a July 14 statement. Consolmagno said the images are “a necessary food for the hum

In the 15-page apostolic letter , Desiderio Desideravi, the Pope said he wanted “to invite the whole Church to rediscover, to safeguard, and to live the truth and power of the Christian celebration.” “I want the beauty of the Christian celebration and its necessary co

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling Friday overturning the 1973 decision Roe v. Wade as well as the 1992 decision Planned Parenthood v. Casey. In simplest terms, this means that abortion is no longer legal nationwide — the legality of abortion is now determined at the state level. There are a lot of myths out there about what this ruling means and what will happen next. Here are some responses to common myths about the overturning of Roe v. Wade: Myth 1: Abortion is now

Anti-abortion campaigners celebrate outside the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, on June 24, 2022. - The US Supreme Court on Friday ended the right to abortion in a seismic ruling that shreds half a century of constitutional protections on one of the most divisive and bitterly fought issues in American political life.
