A Message From Bishop Stephen J. Berg Regarding 2026 Colorado Catholic Voting

Bishop Stephen J. Berg issued a message to the clergy, staff, and parishioners of the Diocese of Pueblo regarding Catholic voting in Colorado for 2026.

In his message, Bishop Berg cited the Second Vatican Council document Gaudium et Spes, which states that citizens have both the right and the duty to use their free vote to promote the common good. He also noted that the Catechism of the Catholic Church describes political participation as an essential part of the Church's mission when the fundamental rights of people or the salvation of souls are involved.
