The civil liberties are not the issue.
I grew up as a Catholic and was taught about the seven sacraments:
Baptism, Confirmation, Confession, Holy Communion, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, and Extreme Unction.
The belief is that a marriage is as sacred as one who accepts their role in Holy Orders as a priest or nun. Holy Matrimony is as sacred as confirming your faith, or being baptized. These sacraments help to build our path to salvation.
Isn’t this very disrespectful to those of Christian faith to strip away what we hold holy?
I got a divorce in the early 70s and felt that I was excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Instead of griping about my woes and trying to change a RELIGION, I changed my belief system and have followed another religion that is close to Catholic. My point is who am I to challenge a sacrament? What gives someone else the right to change a sacred event to fit their ego?
I have no problem with civil unions. I have a problem with disrespecting the sacrament of matrimony.
Bingo! Like many of us here and cough, cough..Obummer we agree.
I wholeheartedly resent having the gay agenda rammed down my throat. I do not agree with what they do and will not condone it. I also will not police them, it is up to God to do that.
