Gay marriage is like slavery, Catholic leader says
"Britain’s most senior Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, has condemned gay marriage as an “aberration”, likening it to slavery and abortion."
"Cardinal Keith O'Brien said countries which legalise gay marriage are “shaming themselves” by going against the “natural law,” and should not consider their actions “progress”.
:
"He claimed same sex unions were the “thin end of the wedge” and would lead to the “further degeneration of society into immorality.”

"The letter says Roman Catholics have a duty to make sure it does not happen.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteSame-sex marriage is a proposed redefinition or variation on the traditional concept of marriage, granting same-sex unions the same legal status as heterosexual marriage. Some opponents of same-sex marriage believe that the religious ceremony of marriage is governed by each denomination and is unaffected by laws passed by civil authority. Thank you.
