At the eighth annual conference of the Catholic Association of Latino Leaders this past
weekend, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia praised the work of the organization
and encouraged those gathered to continue their good work in the face of
secularism, in order to bring new life to America. He said:
Hispanic culture still has a soul formed by an
encounter with Jesus Christ, and the humanity and compassion that flow from it…
These
things are worth fighting for and sharing with others. Faith matters because it
gives meaning to the word ‘human’ in ‘human beings.’ It matters because it
makes us children of a loving God.
Archbishop Chaput lamented the fact that many American Latinos have left the Catholic Church. Our Lady of Guadalupe, please pray for this organization and others, that they may help draw our Latin American brothers and sisters back into the Church.
