Statement from Bishop Tobin – The Supreme Court and
“Same-Sex Marriage”
A thousand courts may rule
otherwise, but the very notion of “same-sex marriage” is morally wrong and a
blatant rejection of God’s plan for the human family. As Pope Francis taught
while serving as Archbishop in Argentina: “Same-sex marriage is not simply a
political struggle, but it is an attempt to destroy God’s plan. It is a move of
the ‘father of lies’ who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.”
Despite the current trends of our
society, or perhaps because of them, the Church must redouble its commitment to
proclaim and defend authentic concepts of marriage and family as we have
received them from God. We will always do so, however, in a respectful,
charitable and constructive manner.
