Princeton professor Robert P. George is a Catholic formed by three different Christian traditions. His father’s father was an Antiochian Orthodox who came to America fleeing religious oppression in Syria. His mother’s father was a southern Italian Catholic who came here to escape poverty. And he grew up in West Virginia among Evangelicals, including a Southern Baptist best friend whose mother took them to Billy Graham movies. Here he reflects on Catholics' relation to their Protestant brethren.

It strengthened in the struggle to protect marriage and now in the struggle to defend religious liberty.
