CATHOLICS AND POLITICS

Our Catholic roots run deep in Kansas.  

The image above (courtesy: Kansas Historical Society) depicts an early Frontiersman from Kansas as a buffalo hunter. On horseback is Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, a Spanish explorer, with Father Juan de Padilla, the first Christian martyr in the United States. Both roamed the Kansas prairie in the 1500s.  

Could other images of Catholics be placed inside or near the Kansas Statehouse? Perhaps. The Kansas Catholic Conference is helping spearhead an effort to memorialize with a statute Chaplain Father Emil Kapaun, a native Kansas son who was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. 

Amen.

"The Kansas Catholic Conference is your Catholic voice in Topeka. By being informed and engaged, you help us make Kansas a better place to live, work and raise our families."
