The Busy Catholic

Recently we blogged about Whitehorse Bishop Gary Gordon, who has written a letter on behalf of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, asking the federal government to rethink its position on building more prison spaces and increasing the number of convicts dramatically.

Here are some additional church links and resources on the topic:
