‘Current White House May Be Least Friendly to Religious Concerns in Our History’

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia gave a speech to seminarians in his archdiocese on March 17 in which he examined the threats to religious liberty arising around the world—including in the United States.

 

In his speech, the archbishop said: “The current White House may be the least friendly to religious concerns in our history.”

 

He also said: “We need to remember two simple facts. In practice, no law and no constitution can protect religious freedom unless people actually believe and live their faith – not just at home or in church, but in their public lives. But it’s also true that no one can finally take our freedom unless we give it away.”
