Public health leaders are urging families to ensure they're up to da...

"Depriving service members and veterans, who are receiving care, of the ability to enter into the Paschal Mystery with priests is utterly unconscionable," the letter said. "DHA doctors are advocating for minors to receive experimental gender transition procedures, but no one seems to be advocating for the right of our service members and veterans to receive the most important sacraments during this most sacred time of year."  The Franciscans said on Wednesday that, while they are disappointed, ...
