Unbelievable!
“Marriage is important—Reflect before you change it.” That, believe it or not, is the title of a statement released today by the Irish bishops’ conference, regarding the country’s May referendum on same-sex marriage.
Nowhere in the full statement do the Irish bishops suggest that Catholics should oppose the legal recognition of same-sex marriage. Oh, sure, they announce that they will oppose the measure. But they do not instruct the faithful to do likewise, much less explain why it is a moral obligation to do so. More here.
