Fireworks in Denver Archdiocese over HB 1090

Fireworks from the Archdiocese of Denver site:

The June 2 edition of the National Catholic Reporter (NCR) -- a publication rarely known for its sympathy for the "institutional" Church -- carried a largely accurate news story on the 2006 Colorado civil statute of limitations fight [Editor's note: We couldn't find a link to this story]. Rep. Gwyn Green, sponsor of the failed HB 1090 bill in the 2006 legislative session, subsequently challenged elements of the NCR coverage in a June 16 letter to the editor. Unfortunately, Rep. Green's letter only furthered the misinformation surrounding the flawed and controversial bill. Christopher Rose, former associate director of the Colorado Catholic Conference, responded with the following letter to the NCR.

NCR also criticized Archbishop Chaput's recent excellent article in First Things that highlighted one of the key inconsistencies in HB 1090 -- that government entitites are held to much lesser standards for abuse suit filings than private entities.
