In college, Cardinal George urged to work together
Calls collaboration between Catholics and Mormons to defend common values \u200b\u200b
PROVO, Thursday 25 February 2010 (ZENIT.org) .- The president of the Episcopal Conference of the United States, Cardinal Francis George, drew an unusual crowd at the Mormon Brigham Young University, and told his audience that Catholics and Mormons must unite to defend common values.
Archbishop of Chicago went to a group of about twelve thousand people Tuesday in connection with the Salt Lake Tribune.
"I'm grateful that, after 180 years, most, living apart from each other, Catholics and 'Latter Days' have come to see each other as trusted partners in the defense of principles shared moral, "he said.
shared values, the cardinal stressed the defense of the unborn and traditional marriage, and efforts to combat poverty.
He referred to the prohibition of "marriage" of same sex in California, a case in which the unity between Catholics and Mormons helped to achieve a successful vote.
also stressed principles like Mormons and Catholics on the right of religion to have a voice in public. Only a few months ago, Cardinal published a book that addresses this issue.
Cardinal George said that freedom of religion must be more that freedom of religion or freedom of conscience, and that includes "the right to influence the public space."
