Some footage in the doc- umentary, from the archives of the Archdiocese of Denver, hasn't been seen for more than 20 years, according to Kelly See- man, operations coordinator for the archdiocese's Office of Communications. Among those interviewed for the documentary were: Arch- bishop Samuel Aquila; Msgr. Edward Buelt, pastor of Our Lady of Loreto Parish in Fox- field and the vice president for logistics for World Youth Day 1993; Father Giovanni Capuc- ci, judicial vicar for the arch- diocese; Roxanne King, editor of the Denver Catholic Register 2001-2014; Mary Beth Bonac- ci, speaker and author; John Ferrugia, reporter for KMGH 7News Denver; and Dr. William J. Convery, state historian with History Colorado. Oct. 22 marks St. John Paul's first feast day since being can- onized earlier this year on April 22. Oct. 22, 1978 marked the in- auguration of his pontificate. A sneak peek of the docu - mentary is available online at http://goo.gl/b76H2I. The ep- isode will be available online after its initial airing at http:// video.rmpbs.org/program/ colorado-experience/.

"We should not be afraid to express how the love of God and neighbor and the dignity of human life are fundamental to meaningful living and good law," he said. "If we hide our faith and its moral compass in the public square, others will not know what it means to be Christian and we would neglect our responsibilities as disciples of Christ." McLean helped found the parish's community building group called Aurora Health Ac- cess, which aids faithful in par- ticipating in society, including their government. Even when choosing be- tween imperfect candidates, a voter may choose the less-ob- jectionable one based on their conscience and Church teaching. "This election especially re- quires you to do your home- work," Father Carmody said. "Study it, pray on it and make up your mind." The key to voting well, Wess- ner argued, is not to simply participate in the function of voting, but to grow the "well- ness of the activity." He sug- gested by promoting demo- cratic education, modeling po- litical activity, participating in robust political discourse and exercising great leadership, among other ways. The result could be powerful. "We have no idea the pow- er our voice can have. We can literally change our culture by the ballot," Father Carmody said.
