Receiving Canterbury Medal, Archbishop Chaput warns of religious freedom loss

Denver Archbishop Charles J. Chaput

New York City, N.Y., May 7, 2009 / 07:30 pm (CNA).- Upon receiving a medal from a group dedicated to religious freedom, Denver Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said that God the Creator is the foundation to beliefs about the sanctity and "infinite value" of human life. He also warned that American religious liberty will be lost if it is not defended and if an increasing disdain for faith and religious believers is underestimated.

The archbishop delivered his remarks on Thursday in New York City after being awarded the Becket Fund's Canterbury Medal, which is given to persons who "most resolutely refused to render to Caesar that which is God's."
