Earlier this week. J. Francis Stafford, the former archbishop of Denver, who is now a Cardinal based in Rome, called the election of Barack Obama "apocalyptic" during a speech at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. In the days since then, his words have made headlines in Colorado and across the country -- but hearing them in context has an even bigger impact. Given them a listen in the following video, which mates his words with still images from his CUA appearance. It's accessible after the jump. -- Michael Roberts
