LXIV NO. 23 Colorado’s Largest Weekly 28 PAGES 25 CENTS Individual Confession Bishops asked to avoid abuses of generai absolution By Agostino Bono VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has told U.S. bishops to promote greater individual Confession and to avoid abuses of general absolution. The sacrament of Penance is in crisis in many parts of the world because of “unwarranted interpretations’’ of the requirements for general absolution, he told a group of U.S. bishops May 31. The renewal process envisioned by the Second Vati­ can Council requires “the practice of integral and individual Confession of sins,’’ he added. The Pope said national bishops’ conferences must continuously promote better understanding of the re­ quirements for general absolution contained in canon law, the church’s legal code. “Sporadic efforts are not enough to overcome the crisis,’’ he said. Not criticizing U.S. One U.S. bishop who attended the papal meeting said the Pope was not criticizing U.S. practices but reiterating general principles. “I welcomed it," said Archbishop Thomas C.

  • October 9, 2013 the Honorable Barack Obama President the White
    October 9, 2013 The Honorable Barack Obama President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As Democrats dedicated to a prosperous America and a clean environment, we encourage the adoption of policies within the framework of your clean energy agenda that accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable coal. We write to you not as representatives of any industry or special interest, but as elected representatives of the American people and as members and leaders of the Democratic Party. The CoalBlue Project seeks to achieve a broad, bipartisan, and unwavering commitment to coal as a sustainable fuel of the future. We, the undersigned, as Democrats dedicated to a vibrant economy and a healthy environment, support the mission of the CoalBlue Project. We believe securing a diverse mix of sustainable energy resources, including sustainable coal, is vital to America’s future and its standing in the world. Coal is an engine of economic activity and growth that delivers incredible social benefits. Its production is the economic lifeblood of many of the communities we represent and serve. Far more broadly, the affordable and reliable electricity it generates helps keep businesses across America running, providing jobs for millions of hard-working men and women. It has powered America to greatness, and it can and will – in a cleaner form – fuel us into the future. To achieve a clean energy future, we must develop energy resources that are abundant, affordable and reliable, yet have minimal impact on the environment. Sustainable coal will help attain a greater balance between worldwide demands for energy that derive from economic and societal advances, and the obligation to deliver a clean, enduring environment for future generations.

Progress rests on painstaking efforts to uncover the truth, identify failures where they exist, and humbly seek forgiveness. Recent scholarship presents a complex picture in Europe both before and immediately after the Second World War, both in the local churches and at the Vatican. Such can­ dor prompts a question: Should the Society of Jesus, serving its own role in the universal Church, review its own history during this dark period, and where neces­ sary, join in the Churclis search for forgiveness? ear the beginning of the new millennium, Pope John N Paul II made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and prayed at Judaism's most holy site, the Western Wall of Herod's Tem­ ple.

    EMBARGOED UNTIL OCTOBER 5, 2000 Contact: Travis Plunkett (202) 387-6121 CONSUMER FEDERATION OF AMERICA PAC ENDORSES CONGRESSIONAL CHALLENGERS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Consumer Federation of America PAC today announced its political action committee’s endorsement of non-incumbent candidates for the 2000 House and Senate races. The candidates--4 in the Senate and 19 in the House of Representatives--were chosen from open seat races and challengers to those incumbents with poor consumer voting records. “After reviewing positions of these candidates, CFA PAC is confident that they will defend the consumer interest if elected,” said Travis Plunkett, CFA’s Legislative Director. Endorsements of challengers and candidates in open races are based on an evaluation of responses to a candidate questionnaire. For challengers, CFA PAC also considers the consumer voting record of the incumbent they are challenging. CFA evaluates the challenger’s voting record if the challenger has served in the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate. “Consumer issues have taken center stage in Washington. In poll after poll, Americans rank consumer issues among their top concerns. These candidates have expressed strong pro-consumer views on issues such as personal privacy, product and food safety, managed care patient protections, and predatory lending. We support their candidacy,” he concluded.
