“Churches and other places of worship are intended to be sanctuaries — holy sites where people come to pray and to worship God. In this nation of ours, they have seldom been the locations where violence has disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. Yet even those occasions — rare as they may be — are not sufficient reasons to allow people to bring more weapons into God’s house.”
— Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta, announcing that he will not allow guns in Catholic churches under a new Georgia law.
