The Catholic vision of social justice is rooted in building a society in which people love and take care of one another, Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez said in his keynote address April 15 at Catholics at the Capitol in St. Paul.
Pope Francis' encyclical "Fratelli Tutti" is a "challenging document" because of the many issues it covers, but it's also "very practical" because it "talks about the foundations of our Catholic commitments to building a better society and a better world," Los Angeles Archbishop José H. Gomez said April 15.
Back in 2019, Laura Elm, who grew up in Bloomington, had never been to the state Capitol in St. Paul. But she “stumbled upon” the Minnesota Catholic Conference Catholic Advocacy Network, which helps keep people up-to-date on the latest legislative issues, and she learned about that year’s Catholics at the Capitol event organized by MCC.
With Catholics at the Capitol planned for April 15 and the Catholic Church’s strong opposition to abortion, The Catholic Spirit asked Jason Adkins, executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, to reflect on the following questions:
A group of 21 Catholics who gathered in Rep. Rick Hansen’s office prayed for him and his colleague, Sen. Matt Klein of Mendota Heights, at the conclusion of their visit during Catholics at the Capitol Feb. 19.
“Be bold, be brave, be Catholic.”
That’s how Gloria Purvis of the Eternal Word Television Network summed up the keynote address by Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia at Catholics at the Capitol Feb. 19 in St. Paul.
Advocating for public policy that protects life and human dignity is the mission of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, and that mission will underscore all discussions at the conference’s Catholics at the Capitol event Feb. 19 in St. Paul.
