520 |a It has been almost fifty years since the US bicentennial, when Spencer W. Kimball told the Saints and American society, "We are a warlike people."[2] Nothing remotely like this has been said since at the general level of the Church, and reference to President Kimball's prophetic perspective in Church publications is virtually non-existent. The restoration does not call us to withdraw from political society but neither does it consider the nation holy.[5] Mason rightly directs his admonition first and foremost to "we Americans", and parenthetically to Saints from other countries. Bringing us up to the present, Mason concludes: "Since 1898 Latter-day Saints have fit comfortably into [Catholic theologian] William Cavanaugh's thought experiment: killing in the name of religion is abhorrent and unthinkable, while killing in the name of the state seems to be a perfectly reasonable and even sacred duty" (71).
