N.a.v. de aktuele gebeurtenissen de afgelopen weken in Utah, en de levendige discussies over het homo-huwelijk die er op volgden, publiceerde het gerenommeerde kwartaalblad "Dialogue, a journal of mormon thought" het navolgende artikel van Wilfried Decoo:

 "As Our Two Faiths Have Worked Together" --- Catholicism and Mormonism on Human Life Ethics and Same-Sex Marriage

Decoo finds that “although the Catholic Church and the Mormon Church stand at first glance on common ground in human life ethics, even there the differences are substantial. Giving each other occasional support in publicly debated matters of ‘morality,’ such as with Proposition 8, turns out to be a perilous endeavor. As soon as the differences come into play, the one church cannot support the other anymore, such as with ESCR or with birth control insurance coverage. To what extent the positions on same-sex marriage may diverge in the future remains to be seen, but the various factors mentioned in this article indicate that the Mormon Church is prone to respond more flexibly to social change and human needs.”      klik hier om het volledige artikel te lezen
