Not really? Cardinal George stated, referring to Catholics and Mormons, we "must stand together as a 'vital bulwark' against those who wanted to 'reduce religion to a purely private reality'. The LDS church has proved its mettle in contentious areas. Were it not for their involvement in Proposition 8, there is every chance the same-sex marriage ban in California would not have been passed. Noting their ability to mobilise member support around issues that also concern Catholics, Cardinal George praised Mormons for their work to protect the rights of those who did not want to participate in abortion or assisted suicide and to defend marriage as a heterosexual institution."
