"Some have mistaken [my visit to Bob Jones University] as a sign that I approve of the anti-Catholicism As a public official, I take seriously my duty to encourage tolerance and respect for the religious views of others. As a Christian, I see Catholics as my brothers and sisters in Christ-sharing the same ancient creed and core beliefs. I reject racial segregation-in our laws, in our hearts and our lives. And I reject religious intolerance-because faith is defined by grace and hope, not fear and division. I have profound respect for the Catholic church-a sympathy beyond mere tolerance. I hope and intend that anyone closely examining my agenda will see reflections of a much greater tradition-a tradition of social justice defended and represented by the Catholic Church. This is why I am offended by any suggestion that I tolerate anti-Catholic bigotry-and resent any attempt to create that impression. I hope that all Catholics will accept this assurance of my good faith" -- George W. Bush
