What’s the deal with Catholic leaders from Colorado? The Colorado Independent’s Ernest Luning pointed out on Friday that Cardinal James Francis Stafford, formerly archbishop in Denver,
accused President-elect Barack Obama for having an apocalyptic “anti-life agenda.” A month ago Denver’s current archbishop, Charles Chaput,called Obama the “most committed” abortion-rights candidate since Roe v. Wade. And
let’s not forget Bishop Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs, who in the past extended the no-Communion threat to voters who pulled the lever for any candidate who supports abortion rights, stem-cell research, euthanasia or gay marriage.
