Religion Briefs on Pornography and Moral Civic Actions
A group of 19 religious leaders and Vatican officials urged people of faith to oppose pornography. The Religious Alliance Against Pornography met with Pope John Paul II, stressing the harm to producers and consumers and calling for moral action. The report also notes Methodist giving, a first Muslim invocation in the Senate, forced Haitian repatriation criticism, Baptist membership growth, a Golan Heights proposal, premarital sex trends at Carson–Newman College, Orthodox intermarriage reappraisal, widespread volunteerism, and other faith community items from 1991.
