"The question of faith and fidelity that is put to us today is not in the form it was put to Peter—'surely you are you this man’s disciple'—it is, rather, do you stand for the sanctity of human life and the dignity of marriage as the union of husband and wife? These teachings are not the whole Gospel—Christianity requires much more than their affirmation. But they are integral to the Gospel—they are not optional or dispensable....it is these integral dimensions of the Gospel that powerful cultural forces and currents today demand that we deny or suppress....
"Do not be ashamed of the Gospel. Never be ashamed of the Gospel" (Remarks of Princeton University Professor Robert P. George at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, 5/13/14).
