Bishop urges AK judges, lawyers, politicians to honor God’s laws
Where does the authority to make law come from? What role have Catholics played in shaping the laws of the United States? And how should bishops address Catholic politicians who act contrary to church teaching? These were some of the topics broached during the Archdiocese of Anchorage’s annual Red Mass on Sept. 28. Anchorage Archbishop Roger Schwietz invited Juneau Bishop Edward Burns to deliver the Red Mass homily at Holy Family Cathedral and to then speak at length to Alaskan politicians, legislators, judges and lawyers at a subsequent brunch at the Marriott Hotel.
