True Marriage - a collection of other responses
Well, I was saddened to here about the Supreme Court decision today. It just shows how far our society has fallen as of late... But, I found that Corey already had a terrific response to it on his blog. That combined with the fact that I need to get some Spanish done (as always) means that, for now, I don't have some great post about it. Read Corey's it is absolutely fantastic!
An excerpt from the USCCB's response:
“Marriage is the only institution that brings together a man and a woman for life, providing any child who comes from their union with the secure foundation of a mother and a father.
“Our culture has taken for granted for far too long what human nature, experience, common sense, and God’s wise design all confirm: the difference between a man and a woman matters, and the difference between a mom and a dad matters. While the culture has failed in many ways to be marriage-strengthening, this is no reason to give up. Now is the time to strengthen marriage, not redefine it.
“When Jesus taught about the meaning of marriage – the lifelong, exclusive union of husband and wife – he pointed back to “the beginning” of God’s creation of the human person as male and female (see Matthew 19). In the face of the customs and laws of his time, Jesus taught an unpopular truth that everyone could understand. The truth of marriage endures, and we will continue to boldly proclaim it with confidence and charity.
I haven't really touched on this topic yet because, well, it's a hard one to cover and is extremely controversial. I guess I just haven't had enough time to think it over, find the necessary sources, etc. to make a good coherent counter-argument.
Anyway, here's a pretty good video about the topic from Chris Stephanick, about Natural & Divine Law:
And another decent one from Fr. Barron, about Moral argumentation, and how we have stopped looking at morality and instead look at discrimination or something (dictatorship of relativism!):
