This is part II of the talk of Bishop Cordileon, bishop of Oakland, CA at the Illinois Catholic Prayer Breakfast, held April 30 in Chicago. The bishop discusses how Catholic, evangelical Christian, and Mormon efforts were joined together for the success of the Marriage Protection Act in California in the 2008 elections. People saw it as a spiritual battle that required prayer and fasting. Evangelicals appreciated the philosophical and theological background of Catholics, while evangelicals brought a zeal that included a 40-day fast.
