Refuting criticism that American Indians are descendants of Israelites (DNA)

The indictment

The examples from modern American Indians do not match the DNA of modern inhabitants of the Middle East. Critics argue that this means the Book of Mormon claim that Native Americans are descendants of Lehi is false, and therefore the Book of Mormon is not an ancient record as Joseph Smith claimed.

response

few of the criticisms of the church have received care through communication systems like this with so little critical thought and science being used for the question. DNA attacks against declamation Book of Mormon fail in many areas.

Some initial considerations

is important to realize that the Book of Mormon critics base their arguments of DNA material that has never been shown even be relevant to the issue of genetics in the Book of Mormon, and still being conclusive. Such critics have paved the DNA material taken from unrelated studies to produce arguments in the guise of scientific weight but without any significance. No studies have been designed and presented to test the hypothesis that American Indians were descendants of that heritage Lehies be detectable today.

Issues DNA can be complex for non-specialists (especially those who were in high school over twenty years ago, long before modern understanding of the availability of DNA). There are many excellent articles are available for this item.

For those who are interested in the introduction of DNA science:

These articles discuss the possibility of testing various hypotheses using the Book of Mormon and DNA:

Geography

A variety of models have been suggested for geographical the Book of Mormon. Some models introduce other difficulties geographic attacks DNA. These issues are discussed on separate pages here.

Are all Amerindians 'Lamanites'?

Critics have claimed that DNA tests mean that not all Native Americans can be "Lamanites," and even some authors of the Church have given this point without much difficulty. These issues are discussed on separate pages here.

genetic General Affairs

Despite the geographic model used, the efforts to date of 'proof of the Book of Mormon through the use of genetic material found a number of problems and issues to be considered. The remainder of this page discusses the issues which must be considered despite the geographic model being used.

What do we want?

genetic Attacks in the Book of Mormon focus on the fact that Native American DNA to be closer to the DNA of Asia, not the DNA of the "Middle East" or the DNA "Jewishness" However, this attack ignores several key points.

Lehi and his family were clearly not Jews. They belonged to the tribe of Manasseh (Alma 10:3, 1 Nephi 5:14), and married into the family of Ismael of the tribe of Ephraim ^[1] . These tribes were taken captive by asérianos, and did not contribute greatly to the genetic mix of the Middle East today.

Moreover, the Middle East is located across roads of three continents, and has been a migration treaty, mixing and intermarriage. The use of modern DNA in the Middle East as the "norm" against which to measure the DNA of Manasseh and Ephraim should have been like 2600 years is an extraordinarily sloppy science.

Articles by considering that DNA "Asian" and DNA Lehies can now correspond to a main previous source:

• G. Stewart, Jr., "DNA and the Book of Mormon," FARMS Review 18 / 1 (2006): 109-138.

What is Jewish DNA?

DNA Identify criteria for Manasseh and Ephraim can be far from our reach. But even identifying markers for the Jews, a group that has remained relatively cohesive and refrained from intermarriage with other groups over others is an extraordinarily difficult assignment.

He warned

genetic diversity studies have just begun. But even the fashion of the ancestral genetic test is stamped ... Other groups, such as Jews, are now being targeted. This despite the fact that Jewish communities have little in common in their side mitochondria - the female line by which Judaism is traditionally inherited. It is the men's side, revealing a lineage between the different Jewish communities - so, of course, that's where geneticists focus .... Geneticists - like preachers and philosophers before them - need to avoid promising more than they can offer. ^[2]

• Brian D. Stubbs, "Elusive Israel and the Numerical Dynamics of Population Mixing," FARMS Review 15 / 2 (2003): 165-182.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)

Mitochondrial DNA is passed by mothers to their children. And it has been used in attacks on the Book of Mormon, and still known Jewish populations do not share the same mtDNA.

A new study shows that women in nine Jewish communities from Georgia ... to Morocco have vastly different genetic histories of men ... The identities of women however, are a mystery, because ... their genetic signatures are not related to each other or those of the present day Middle Eastern populations. ^[3]

then known Jewish groups are not bound by anything to studies of mtDNA, and even then the critics would have us believe that two of the lost tribes (Ephraim and Manasseh - of which we have no no 'control' or 'reference' of examples for comparison) can be discarded from the test as ancestors of Native Americans via mtDNA?

Chromosome - Y DNA

Y-chromosomes are only passed from father to son ; the female line does not take them all. These markers have also been used by critics to "prove" that American Indians are not descendants Lehi.

Despite claims that the Y chromosome material does not support the claims of the Book of Mormon, there are some markers which should be considered in another light:

Douglas Forbes notes that the Y-chromosome biallelic SNP marker [biallelic belonging both alleles (both alternative forms of a gene.) For example, biallelic mutations in the MYH gene predispose to colon cancer.] Q-P36 (also known as the M242 mutation marker), postulated by geneticist Doron Behar and colleagues to be the founding lineage within the Ashkenazi Jewish populations, is also found in Iranian and Iraqi Jews and a group present in the lineage founder present in 31 percent self-identified American Indians in the U.S.. ^[4]

Lemba and Cohen modal haplotype

Murphy used to "Lemba" as an example of a Jewish group proved through DNA testing. But this example is misleading. The Lemba were identified as Jews because the marker "Cohen modal haplotype." This flag is only brought in half of those who claim to be descendants of Aaron, the brother of Moses, and only 2-3% of other Jews.

But the Book of Mormon does not suggest - indeed seem to rule out - the idea that the Levites (the priestly family of Aaron) were in the company of Lehi. Without families of priests, one could not expect not to have the Cohen modal haplotype. Moreover, only 2-3% of modern Jews non-priestly family (to say nothing of Ephraim and Manasseh - remember, Lehi and company were not "Jews") can be identified by this test. ^[5] these modern Jews are 97-98% then the non-Jews because the genetic test is negative for them? Excluding the Nephites on the basis of such evidence, nor so bad that we would expect the pass (if not included in the Levitical families) shows how far the critics are going to twist the evidence to find fault.

Articles which analyze the themes of Cohen modal haplotype:

• Matthew Roper, "Swimming the Gene Pool: Israelite Kinship Relations, Genes, and Genealogy, "FARMS Review 15 / 2 (2003): 129-164.

90% rate of death by coming into contact with Europeans

Approximately ninety percent of Amerindian people have died following contact with Europeans, most were from infectious diseases to which they had no defense. ^[6]

Since different genes usually provide different types of resistance to infectious diseases can be eliminated that 90% of the table gene pre-contact has a significant truth distorted the true picture of the genetic descendants of Lehi.

What about the Jaredites? Critics

followed overlooked Jaredites, and assume (as in the hemispheric models [type 2 and type 3) that may have contributed to Jaredites nothing to the table accordingly Lehite.

But it is not clear that this may be the case. Some LDS have believed in the total extermination of the Jaredites, others have argued that the remains of the Jaredites survived and mixed with Lehies. Bruce R. McConkie, while believing in most Native Americans were descendants of Israel (Example: Lehi, Ishmael and Mulek) still wrote:

American Indians, however, as Columbus found them also had other blood than that of Israel in their veins. It is possible that isolated remnants of the Jaredites may have lived in the period of destruction in which millions of his fellows perished. It is very clear that Eastern group found their way over the Bering Strait and gradually moved south to mingle with the Indians. We have records of a colony of Scandinavians attempting to settle in America some 500 years before Columbus. There are archeological indications that an unspecified number of groups probably found their way from the old to the new world in pre-Columbian times. Out of all these groups might have been American Indians as they were discovered in the 15th century. ^[7]

Jaredites genetics are unknown. Can not be Israelites, as they were pre-dated to Israel. Some authors such as Hugh Nibley, long ago argued that they were of Origin Asiático.viii

"Suicide bomber" fundamentalist

should be remembered that many critics as sectarian use of DNA science as a kind of "suicide bomber" in attack on Christian fundamentalists iglesia.ix critics are happy to use DNA as a stick to whip the Book of Mormon, but do not tell your readers that there is stronger evidence of DNA by the concepts that readers can not accept Christian fundamentalists, such as

• evolutionary change in species
• descendants of other human primates

And, despite being inconsistent with the DNA material, the fundamentalist critics do not call their congregations to abandon such concepts such as Bible literally:

• the earth being only 6.000 years
• an Adam and Eve were the parents of all mankind only 4,000 years before Christ
• a flood which exterminated all life except that he was in the ark, occurred about 5,000 years ago

Critics often are hypocrites - they claim that the Saints should abandon the Book of Mormon in the flimsy, dubious science, and thus, do not tell his audience that they should not (for some logic) to abandon their religious beliefs have more DNA evidence against them.

Discussions of this twisted irony found in:

Stewart, Jr., "DNA and the Book of Mormon," FARMS Review 18 / 1 (2006): 109-138.

conclusion

DNA

attacks against the Book of Mormon are ill-advised, a "dispute diverted." ^[8 geographic models introduced several issues unique to each model, but the DNA material is in no way conclusive as critics claim, despite the geographical patterns they choose.

Critics tend to opt for the more innocent, ill-informed as possible reading the text of the Book of Mormon, and then scream when the Saints needed point that they have given enough consideration to these issues and have become more meaningful conclusions that are more faithful to the text of the Book of Mormon critics considered poor-caricatures.

Critics do not provide the "whole story" of DNA material, and seem to want to use the uncertainty which DNA supplied in modern crime solving as a springboard to catch the Saints, the media, and researchers to think that their conclusions are sound historical DNA.

The Church's statement on the subject of DNA is concise and current

The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ is exactly what it claims to be - a record of God's dealings with his people ancient America and be a second witness in the divinity of Jesus Christ. The strong testimony of the Book of Mormon is obtained by living the Christ-centered principles contained in its pages and pray about its truthfulness.

Recent attacks on the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon based on DNA evidence are ill considered. Nothing in the Book of Mormon prevents migration to the Americas by people of Asian origin. The scientific issues relating to DNA, however, are numerous and complex. ^[9]

In fact, the DNA material tells us nothing that we knew of the archaeological data - in this, it is believed that the establishment of the Americas was thousands of years before the arrival of Lehi. Many of these villages are linked to East Asia. None of this is news, and none of it threatens the position of the Book of Mormon as an authentic history.

But critics hope their listeners will marvel at the banner of the science of DNA, and conclude that something more impressive is going on. The informed members of the Church have not been persuaded by his tactics, and much has been written to help non-specialists to understand the "many complex" issues in the fascinating and valuable science of genetics.

Sr. Chairman Larry and Lisa Laycock Laycoock.

Presidents of Chile Santiago East Mission

Sister Lisa Laycock, wife of Chile Santiago East Mission President Larry Laycock, sent an email to friends and family about the earthquake that struck the country of Chile on 27 February. She asked that her message be shared "with the hope that it can inspire others. "These are excerpts from his e-mail:" I am writing to let you all know how grateful we are for your prayers, concern and love. Please keep praying! We need God's help and guidance in order to do what He wants us to learn what they would learn from this tragedy terremoto.Durante recent days we have witnessed many events that remind us that the Lord is office and as missionaries and members of his church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are carrying out their work, and as President [Thomas S.] Monson taught: "When we in the Lord's work, we are entitled to their help. "I want to share with you some miracles to help you understand our deep sense of gratitude. (Intellectual Reserve Inc.Larry and Lisa Laycock.)

" hen we were freshly prepared for this call, Elder Richard G. Scott, the [Council of the Twelve Apostles taught us many important lessons. He spoke from personal experience when he was mission president in Argentina. One of the messages shared with us is as follows: "At times during his mission, he awoke in the middle of the night or early morning with thoughts of things to do for some missionaries. Do not ignore these thoughts. Are impulses of the Holy Spirit communicated to them in the stillness of the night or the peace of the morning. He will speak, because that's when you can listen. "Elder Scott instructed us to keep a notebook next to our bed so we could record these impulses precise spirit. He said the next morning, is likely to forget the impulses if not write." We have been astonished at the performance of the prophetic words of Elder Scott. We have received many impressions on the exact way that Elder Scott described. We are grateful that Elder Scott taught us how to recognize and act on these impulses.

"Nearly two and a half weeks [before the] earthquake, I woke up around 4 am. I heard a voice, but the idea was as clear as if it had been in the form of spoken words:" Go to have an earthquake. Prepare your missionaries. "I sat in bed and immediately recalled the advice of Elder Scott. That morning I told Larry what had happened. I immediately went to work organizing our mission to prepare for an earthquake. "

" In talking with the missionaries to our office to take action, we set a goal and arrange our schedule so we could visit all the apartments of the mission to ensure the safety and review of our missionaries know what to do in case of an earthquake. What a wonderful experience that we had to have met with them and share with them the Scripture to be spiritually and physically prepared. "... If ye are prepared ye shall not fear" (D & C 38:30). Instruct all missionaries to have a "go-bag" (36 hour kit). We review our emergency action plan with them, where to go and what to do if they had phone service and if not tubieran. We gave them each a paper with all instructions in English and English, and remind them that "this life is the time to prepare to meet God "(Alma 34:32-34). We share with them our thoughts and feelings about the need for spiritual and physical security. Some of them were frightened and asked us if we knew something he did not know. I I smile and repeat "... If ye are prepared ye shall not fear. "

prepared just wanted to embers. remember with tears our recent conference in which he had shared our feelings about our beloved Elder McKay Burrows who was called home unexpectedly in January, while serving his mission in Romania ... the way it was prepared in every way to find God. We have reaffirmed nuestro desafio de 'estar preparado' en todos los sentidos. Luego nos arrodillamos junto a ellos en su apartamento y dedicado cada departamento, pidiendo una bendición de la seguridad y la seguridad que en cada departamento.

"Cuando paso el terremoto, estábamos preparados. No hemos tenido el pánico que muchos sentían. Sabíamos que estábamos preparados. Debido a las palabras del apóstol escogido del Señor, el élder Scott, que había escuchado y tenido en cuenta la tranquilidad, pero impresiones claras del Espíritu Santo. Fuimos bendecidos con la paz en medio del caos. Aprendimos una lección importante: nuestra preparación nos ayudó to avoid panic and fear, but the Lord in His wisdom has allowed us to experience discomfort enough to know that He has all power. It has everything to his office. We are nothing without him. We depend on Him for every breath we take. He alone can save us from death and destruction. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is our perfect example. If we follow, we shall be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel.

"Today, we attended the church when [President Laycock] was invited to speak. The whole chapel was full and beyond. People are so humble and so docile. [He] taught the importance of small things. He taught about Jesus Christ and the opportunity we have to love each other and to share what we have with others. It was a great blessing for us to be with the beautiful people of Chile. Some have lost their homes ... or at least parts of their homes. But they are strong and want to serve the Lord. Writing taught in Luke 21:11,13 says: "There will be great earthquakes in various places ... also welcomed the sweet young woman who was in the congregation with missionaries ... the first time attend the church ... and then [from the pulpit] he invited her to be baptized. He asked to please us invite to his baptism, and she said, "I will." The Lord always knows what his people need. [Our son] Landon was reading in Alma 15:17 today. He said, 'Mom listen to this. This is what is happening here in Chile as in the case in Ammonihah. The people are humiliated and "control, the pride of her heart and began to humble themselves before God, continually watching and praying that they might be freed from Satan, and death and destruction."

'"Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for all the blessings we have received in the Chile Santiago East Mission. We see miracles every days. In the midst of great pain and suffering, we can always find our Savior. He is standing with His arms outstretched, begging for all of us to be humble and get to it. He loves us. He invites us to accept your gift ... Atonement. He invites us to repentance. He wants us to love each other and serve each other. He wants us to bring our families and our loved ones to it. We can do it. We can do whatever he asks, no matter how difficult it may seem. "With God all things are possible .'...

Elder Spencer W. Kimball explained: "I do not know when I started to love Lehi.Puede's children have been when I was born, because before and after the birth, my father served several missions including in Indian country. He was chairman of the mission.

That love may be born in those early years of my childhood, when my father used to sing the songs of the Indians and show memorabilia and photographs of his Indian friends. It may have been when I received my patriarchal blessing from the hands of Patriarch Samuel Claridge , when he was nine years old. In one part of the blessing says

"Preaching the Gospel to many people, but especially to the Lamanites because the Lord will bless you with the gift of tongues and the power to teach the Gospel to the people with great simplicity. You see them organized and ready to be a bulwark "between the people" '...

"... We have about half a million children of Lehi on the islands of the sea, and about sixty million in North and South America being perhaps a third of them full-blooded, and the other two thirds are blends, but have the blood of Jacob in his veins. "Someone said:
" 'If my pen had the gift of tears, and wrote a book called "The Indian" and make everyone cry. "

The children of Lehi. Can anyone hold back tears when contemplating the fall of this town has been reduced from their level of culture and achievements to illiteracy and degradation, of kings and emperors, to slavery, of owning the land of great continents to be homeless apprentices and laborers governments; as children of God with divine knowledge, a wild, victims of superstition, and builders of temples to dwell in houses of clay ...?

"How I wish they could accompany me and especially Native American reservations to the land of the Navajo tribe and see the poverty, the need and the miserable conditions they suffer, and understand again that these people are sons and daughters of God, that his wretched condition is the result, not only centuries of wars, and of sin and separation from God , but is also attributable to us, their conquerors, who put them on reservations with limited resources and to die of starvation and malnutrition or unhealthy conditions, while we thrive on the property that had been snatched.

Think on these things, my people, and then cry for the Indians, and with your tears, pray and then work for him.

Only through us, their 'attendants and nurses', may eventually enjoy the fulfillment of many promises made to them. Assuming that we comply with the duty we owe to them, Indians and other sons of Lehi still rise to power and strength. The Lord will remember the covenant made with them, His Church will be established between them, the Bible and other Scriptures available to them will enter the holy temples to receive their endowments and make the proxy work come to the knowledge of their parents and will perfect understanding of their Redeemer Jesus Christ will prosper in the land and with our help, will build a holy city even a New Jerusalem, for God "(in Conference Report, April 1947, pp. 144-145, 151-152).

(Administrator)

This amazing woman, dumb, blind and deaf, symbolizes perseverance and the will to overcome the physical limitations

"The great poets are interpreters of eternal things. It is true that I can not see the moon, but s é it's there. "

This came to think and write in their book The story of my life (Ages, Mexico, 12th Edition, November 28) the tireless and wise woman many years ago was a blind and deaf girl who struggled in despair, vainly seeking a way to allow him to communicate with their anguished parents.

Eels Reread grew up in a very difficult childhood and frightened family and friends of the house screaming and constant changes, but when I turned six, his mother read Charles Dikens a book that had the incredible work done girl Laura Birdman, also deaf-blind.

Hellen's parents sought help from Michael Anagnos, director of the Massachusetts Asylum for the Blind and the famous Alexander Graham Bell. With the help of this they found the teacher Anne Sullivan, who with great dedication to reach the critical rehabilitation of the child.

Eels born in Tuscumbia unknown American city in northern Alabama, on June 27, 1880, and became the first deaf-blind-mute the world who graduated in University and also authored a best-seller "and named founder of campaigns for the rights of women.

The mystery of his illness

Helen Keller was born healthy, but at 19 months was surprised by a strange fever that doctors at that time called "brain fever" and probably was scarlet fever or meningitis.

Soon his mother noticed that while bathing the child, this did not close his eyes. He called the doctor, who discovered that the girl was blind. Days later also the progenitor found that little seemed not to hear the loud sound of a bell. For that reason was speechless too.

When I first visited the teacher Anne Sullivan Eels house, she put her hands on her face and dress of the teacher, tried to open his bag. Had a hard time removing it, then fought to have her whim. Ms. Sullivan then gave him a doll and she sat down to play with her.

The first evidence of the effort that Anne Sullivan did for Helen would be happy, is attached to the toy, when the small blind, deaf and dumb cradled in his arms, because it was just "doll" the first word that the girl learned.

When Eels took a few minutes doing this maneuver, the teacher took her hand and spelled the word mu-N-eca writing each letter in the palm of your not the girl, who was interested in strange movements and tried to imitate the path of the fingers of the teacher. That was the first time someone tried to teach Helen Keller.

Miss Sullivan did with the word "water" with the feeling of cool water into his hand, that Helen own comment: "Somehow in that moment suddenly realized the mystery of language. I knew then the wonder that was the coldness of the water that fell on my hand impulsively. That word "live" touched my spirit, giving it light, hope and joy "

In just a few hours Helen had learned 30 new words and since then his progress was astounding. He learned to read "playing", first using letters in relief, then with the Braille system.

At 20 he entered the Radcliff College, Harvard, where learned French, German, Greek, and Latin, thus opening great potential to the world of the blind and deaf. Anne Sullivan died in 1936, but Helen continued to travel the globe, collecting funds for the blind. His story was told in 1962 in the film The Miracle Worker (The miracle worker.) starring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, who were Oscar winners for their tremendous performances.

Talk and "Play"

Miss Sullivan was a famous deaf teacher named Sarah Fuller, and indicated what he must do. Helen moved his hand on the lips of Mrs. Fuller, put his fingers inside the mouth of the new teacher to learn the position of the league, lips and teeth. Then issued the sounds that made Mrs. Fuller.

After that, Professor Helen gave other sounds and imitated all. Miss Fuller then said a few words in isolation, moving his fingers through the hands of Eels to show the extent of the syllables.

returned home at the height of the seventh lesson, turned to Miss Sullivan and said with a strange and empty voice, I can talk now. " That was really the first time made use of human language.

Helen took only seven lessons of Mrs. Fuller, but that was only the beginning of his long struggle to learn to talk. Week after week ... year after year, tried to speak ever more clearly. Repeated words and phrases for hours, using the sense of touch of his fingers even learn the vibrations of the throat of Miss Sullivan, the movement of your tongue and the look on his face as he spoke.

After several years Helen was able to "hear" by vibrating the best jokes from Mark Twain. With your fingers in lips, the Italian tenor Enrico Caruso dumped his golden voice 'in his hand and the violinist Jascha Heifets Helen played for her while her fingers rested lightly on the violin.

Helen Keller's victories over disadvantages or disabilities quickly made it famous. Began corresponding with many famous people, writing in English and French. Attended the school, next to her teacher Sullivan, who wrote in his hand the lessons of the masters. He graduated in 1904 with 24 years. So she wrote articles for various magazines and spoke for the blind in many parts of the dumb. Received honors in various countries, girls and boys ran to meet her. While other names will be forgotten, that of Helen Keller will be remembered for long.

When I was a boy of only eleven years old, I received a patriarchal blessing of a man who had never seen and never saw her again. It is an amazing and prophetic document. It's very personal and do not read much, however, contains this statement: "The nations of the earth will hear your voice and knowledge of the truth by the wonderful testimony to express."

When I was released from my mission in England, I traveled a bit around Europe. I had given my testimony in London, and I did also in Berlin and again in Paris, and later in Washington, DC In my mind, had made my testimony in these great capitals of the world and had kept that part of my blessing.

But that turned out to be just the beginning. Thereafter my voice is heard in all continents, in cities large and small, from north to south and from east to west, across this whole world, from Cape Town to Stockholm, from Moscow to Tokyo Montreal, in each of the capitals of the world. This is a miracle.

Now, in conclusion, I hope you all remember that on this Sabbath day you heard me give my testimony that this is God's holy work. The vision given the Prophet Joseph Smith in the grove of Palmyra was not imaginary, it was very real. Occurred in the full light of day. Both the Father and the Son spoke to the young. He saw standing in the air above his head. Their voices heard and obeyed His instruction.

The Father, the great God of the universe, was the one who presented the risen Lord. For the first time in recorded history, both the Father and the Son appeared together to open the curtains and start it, the last and final dispensation, the dispensation of the fullness of time.

The Book of Mormon is all it claims to be: a work written by prophets in ancient times and whose words have come to light to "convince the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God , manifesting himself unto all nations " (Cover of the Book of Mormon).

The priesthood was restored under the hands of John the Baptist and Peter, James and John. In this Church exercising all the keys and authority pertaining to eternal life.
Joseph Smith was and is a prophet, the great Prophet of this dispensation. This church, which bears the name of the Redeemer, is true.

Cardinal George Williams Speech at BYU

Cardinal George Chair of the Conference of Catholic Bishops U.S.

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.
