WASHINGTON — In recent legal briefs filed with the Supreme Court, the U.S. bishops warned that a redefinition of marriage would create an “engine of conflict” that threatens freedom of religion, speech and other liberties.

“Marriage, understood as the union of one man and one woman, is not a historical relic, but a vital and foundational institution of civil society today,” said the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in a Jan. 29 amicus brief supporting the California ballot initiative, Proposition 8.

“The government interests in continuing to encourage and support it are not merely legitimate, but compelling,” the brief explained.

California voters passed Prop. 8 in 2008, reversing a court decision that imposed same-sex ‘marriage’ on the state"

Slouching towards Gomorrah. There will never be an end to the constant destruction of this society by the radical sodomites unless the Supreme Court puts a stop to this continued attack on morality and common sense. If they say the DOMA is unconstitutional, and with Roberts as the swing vote, anything is possible, we are done as a nation and there is not a doubt in my mind that we are in the final days before God says enough is enough and ends it all. HE WILL NOT MOCKED!

Not just redefining marriage, they are corrupting the word.

HIS Word.

threatens freedom of religion

I have been convinced that this is the real reason behind the push for the rights for homosexuals and those practicing other sexual perversions: to destroy freedom of religion and Christianity itself. That is why I am absolutely appalled that Protestant denominations would sign on to this, when it is abundantly clear from the Bible how God view such practices. Read no further than the first chapter of Romans.

When Hussein realizes this he knows for sure that he will have to issue an EO redefining marriage because he does NOT believe the current situation is "Constitutional" - isn't that what he proclaimed of DOMA? AND HE LOVES CONFLICT AMONST THE POPULATION - IT CAUSES NEW CRISIS TO ERUPT WEEKLY.
