US Bishops Respond to Passage of Same-Sex 'Marriage' Act

Bishop Barron stated that Christians must share the truth of marriage as 'a lifelong and exclusive union, a complete and mutual gift of the husband and wife to each other for their good and for the procreation and education of children, [and] is essential to the common good.'

The Respect for Marriage Act passed the Senate Tuesday, redefining marriage to include unions between homosexual couples and mandating that all states must recognize homosexual marriages.
