Denver and the Professions: A Flashpoint for Change?

This was an email I received from Catholic Culture...
Catholic Professional Societies

In this week's Highlights column on CatholicCulture.org, I examine the problem posed by Catholic professional associations.

The recent blow-up in Denver between Archbishop Chaput and the local chapter of the Catholic Lawyers Guild should be a catalyst for professional renewal.

Please read the column and send us your own experiences in renewing existing professional societies or starting new ones.
The column begins:
Just before Christmas, the Archdiocese of Denver told the local chapter of the Catholic Lawyers Guild to take a hike—a hike away from Church property, that is. It seems the Guild had decided to honor pro-abortion attorney Ken Salazar with its Thomas More Award. As a result, Archbishop Chaput refused to celebrate the annual Red Mass with the group at their dinner this month, and has also told them they can’t hold the event on Church property as planned.
A good article...
