Catholics and Latter-day Saints on the same ground, literally and figuratively, in the BYU Devotional, where Cardinal Francis George spoke to BYU students on the importance of protecting religious freedom together.
"I suspect ... that Brigham Young and the first Catholic Bishop Lawrence Scanlan would be amazed. [It]," said George.
George, President of the Conference of U.S. Catholic Bishops and the Archbishop of Chicago, expressed the gratitude of Catholics and Latter-day Saints are now united to combat problems such as pornography, abortion and gay marriage.
"Personally, I am grateful that after 180 years of living mostly apart from each other, that Catholics and Latter-day Saints Days have become each other as reliable partners, "said George.
George talked about the history of religious freedom in the United States and the responsibility to continue in the tradition of the country.
" The Catholic understanding of religious freedom, I think we share together, is not confined to that freedom of religion or even privatization, "said George." Freedom of religion means that religious groups and religious people have the right to exercise influence on the public square. "
George said that over the ages 19 and 20, the Catholics have taken policy measures when they feel they need to better protect the family - the very foundation of society. The Catholic Church has entered the debate on health, the hope that one day everyone should take care that no one will be deliberately killed by abortion. George believes that by working together, Catholics and Latter-day Saints can defend those who can not defend themselves.
"We work together because it is for the good of the people," Jorge said. "Our churches have different histories, beliefs, and practices, but a common reference point is the belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ."
George asked Catholics and Latter-day Saints continue to defend together.
"Our greatest weapon is not the voting booth or legal brief, are the prayers," said George.
