Protestants publish statement condemning anti-Catholic bigotry

Via AMDG:

As Protestant Christians and as Americans, we condemn the grotesque anti-Catholic bigotry that is now on display as a result of the Supreme Court's recent decision upholding the constitutionality of the federal law prohibiting partial-birth abortion.

We believe it is our particular duty to condemn the bigotry we are now witnessing in view of the history of anti-Catholicism in our nation.

Just as Pope John Paul II acknowledged past injustices committed by Catholics, or committed in the name of Catholicism, against Protestants, Jews, and others and pledged to work against any revival of these injustices, we acknowledge past Protestant prejudices against Catholics and pledge to fight against the anti-Catholic bigotry we are now witnessing.

How encouranging to see. And I'm not being the least bit sarcastic. Charles Colson is the source for this and I'd love to see what Protestant ministers signed it. The statement also includes a fierce condemnation of partial-birth abortion and that Philadelphia Inquirer cartoon.
