Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput will share a speaker’s platform Friday with President Bush at the second National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.
The breakfast is modeled on the National Prayer Breakfast, an evangelical Protestant event that’s been held since the 1970s and is often attended by presidents and other elected officials.
This is the first year that Bush has attended the Catholic version of the event, which has sold more than 1,600 tickets as of Wednesday, said Diana Banister, a spokeswoman for the event. It will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Washington.
Friday’s breakfast will be preceded by a Mass celebrated by Denver’s former auxiliary bishop, now San Antonio Archbishop Jose Gomez.
After remarks by the president, Chaput will deliver the keynote address, which is expected to center on how Catholics live their faith and their responsibility to bring it into the public square.During last year’s election season, that theme thrust Chaput into the middle of a national uproar as he repeatedly urged Catholic politicians and voters to make their faith the standard by which they weigh public policy issues. . . .
