NMCCB Statement On Death Penalty Reinstatement

 
NMCCB News:
 
ALBUQUERQUE  We, the Catholic Bishops of New Mexico, find the decision by Governor Susana Martinez to place the reinstatement of the Death Penalty on the agenda of a special legislative session to be irresponsible. 
 
The legislature spent a decade debating the issue, ending with a bipartisan vote that ended the practice of a state-sanctioned death penalty. This was a definitive decision and had ample discovery of evidence and debate. That decision should remain final.

Pastor Granillo: Encouraged

Encouraged.

I remember being discouraged when I was a kid because we were “poor”. It didn’t help when my older brother would tell me about how great his life was back when him and mom lived in Chicago. He would brag about her great job and how his toys were so absolutely amazing. I would look at mine and think, “This is just not fair. I’ll never have what he had.”

As an adult, I think it’s still easy for me to look around at the world and think, “I am so far behind successful people that I could never catch up.” It can be discouraging for anyone when we compare our lives to Read More

Pastor Granillo: Rebuilding

Rebuilding.

Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. – Alexander Dumas

This quote is from one of my favorite books, The Count of Monte Cristo. In it,Edmond Dantès has his life suddenly turned upside down as he finds himself serving a life sentence in a dismal prison. For all intents and purposes, Edmond should have no hope. I’ll stop there so as not to spoil it.
