Mitt and Ann Romney to recieve religious freedom award
Mitt and Ann Romney are being awarded the Becket Fund’s highest honor, the Canterbury Medal, for their contribution in expanding religious expression in the public square. The Canterbury Medal is awarded annually to someone who has “resolutely refused to render unto Caesar that which is God’s.”They said:
“The governor’s extraordinary speech on the role of religion in political life was an important contribution to religious liberty and the national political discourse during this election season. Both Governor and Mrs. Romney have demonstrated exemplary poise and dignity in the face of all manner of provocations aimed at their faith. For these reasons and more, The Becket Fund is delighted to present the Romneys with the Canterbury Medal at this year’s dinner,” in New York City.

Dana, thanks for the info. I am not a Mormon, but I truly adore this man and I have ever since I saw him speak on C-Span last year well before the 2008 election season. He is brilliant and passionate and just a wonderful man and I am just devistated that he will not be president in 2008. I also get physically ill when people tell me they would never vote for a Mormon. I am ashamed of some of my fellow Americans for their “religous” test.
