From The Denver Post:: "The Colorado Catholic Conference said it has not endorsed a Colorado ballot measure that would grant personhood and constitutional rights to humans from the moment of conception. The conference, which speaks for the state's three Catholic bishops, issued a statement Thursday contradicting the petitioners -- Colorado for Equal Rights -- which claimed Wednesday that the church's state leaders are on board. Colorado for Equal Rights organizer Keith Mason had issued a statement listing the anti-abortion group's prominent supporters. Mason said Pueblo Bishop Arthur Tafoya, Colorado Springs Bishop Michael Sheridan and Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput had 'personally expressed their support.' Colorado Catholic Conference Executive Director Jennifer Kraska said the statement 'seriously misrepresents' the views of the Catholic bishops regarding the personhood amendment."
