Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church announced that the definition of marriage is the union between a man and a woman, and that sex is solely for reproduction. A letter was released in Baltimore on Tuesday by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, saying they are bothered by the increasing number of people that believe marriage is a private matter instead of being a crucial issue to making a healthier society.
The published letter continued by explaining how same-sex unions would “damage the common good and would ignore the proper role of husbands and wives.”
The bishops mentioned are clearly against gay marriage. Isn’t the Roman Catholic religion, along with every other religion, supposed to be caring and inviting towards others? I think so. Yes, the Bible states that marriage is between a man and a woman, but doesn’t God love everyone?
Turning homosexuals away from the alter is complete discrimination. There are laws prohibiting judgment in the workplace and elsewhere based on race, creed, religion, gender, disability and natural origin. When is this law going to come into effect when it comes to the union of two people?
It is disappointing living in a state where two men or two women cannot marry each other just because they are in love with someone of the same gender. My question to the bishops is: How will gay marriage affect citizens of the United States personally? My answer: It won’t. Minnesota, along with religions around the country, need to get in gear and accept the fact that homosexuality is not a sin. Let everyone have equal rights.
