SALT LAKE CITY Bishop Oscar A. Solis has launched the 2021 Diocesan Development Drive in a video posted to the diocesan website.
““It takes all of us in order to move our Church and our mission forward. It needs our unity and solidarity and faith and love to be able to accomplish anything,” the bishop said as he introduced this year’s theme: “Forward Together in Faith and Love.”
DDD funds provide support for the diocese’s nine seminarians and its diaconate program, along with all essential ministries, including funding for poor parishes and rural missions, pastoral care to Hispanic Catholics and outreach programs such as spiritual care, food and shelter to those in need.

Most Americans presume that Mexico is a Christian country, unaware that many Mexicans who identity as Catholic regularly practice a form of pagan idolatry, according to Universidad Cristiana de Mexico President Jaime Castro.
Castro leads an evangelical Christian university in Querétaro, Mexico. As Mexican Christians share the Gospel, they often face persecution from Mexican traditionalist Catholics, he told The Christian Post.
Unlike Christianity, traditionalist Catholicism relies on giving gifts to the gods in exchange for health, good fortune and protection from evil. They often participate in animal sacrifices to the gods and worship saints, incorporating practices from pagan Aztec beliefs.

It’s also the tradeoff anthropologists and economists have assumed when studying modern fertility patterns. But when John Shaver came across projections during his graduate studies that Hispanic Catholics and Muslims were on track to surpass white Christian subgroups and Jews, respectively, by the midcentury, he was perplexed.
