Archbishop Chaput at BYU

Good stuff
America thrives on diversity. It needs immigration to constantly renew itself. So demographic change is a very good thing—so long as some mechanism exists in society to weave people together into a nation with common ideals; ideals that are organic to our past and higher than our personal appetites. America is an idea. And the idea needs to have a moral substance greater than “every man for himself” or “do whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t hurt somebody else.” That’s a hunting license, not a national purpose.
