Foes of the ballot measure warned that it will have grave consequences for the vulnerable.“The mission we have as citizens of Colorado should be to help people live with dignity – not to offer them more options to kill themselves,” the Colorado Catholic Conference said Nov. 9.Colorado voters approved assisted suicide by a vote of 65 percent to 35 percent.The conference said the passage of the assisted suicide measure was “a great travesty of compassion and choice for the sick, the poor, the elderly and our most vulnerable residents.”The ballot measure, modeled on a 22-year-old Oregon law, is called the Colorado End-of-Life Options Act.

The meeting attended by bishops, priests, religious and the lay faithful was called to discuss important issues involving the life and mission of the Church in Zambia.Taking his cue from the theme of the encounter which is: 125th Anniversary of Evangelization in Zambia, Cardinal Filoni traced the history of the arrival of the first missionaries in the country, beginning with the Missionaries of Africa and the Jesuits and how the seeds they sowed have borne fruits.He said, “Following the lead of the first missionary fathers, many dedicated men and women have continued the work of evangelization here in Zambia up to the present day.” Therefore, he continued “we thank God today since “despite the sometimes painful meeting of ancient ways with the new hope that Christ the Lord brings to all cultures, the word of faith took deep...
