As the religious CONTINUE to get beaten up by this administration...it got me thinking...we Catholic's are usually the glaring spotlight of intolerance on this topic...but I knew we weren't the ONLY ones, just he ones that the media loves to demonize...I found this article that highlight 16 major religious groups and their postions on same-sex marriage...as you will see MOST believe that MARRIAGE (NOT Civil UNIONS) should be protected by God. This topic is difficult for me because I have dear love for quite a few homosexuals and it is a topic that without FULL understanding of where the Catholic faith stands on this (something beyond "NO") so much offense is taken. I tred lightly on this topic because of how much deep seeded anger & hurt comes of it's discussion when not compassionately and truthfully explained. I pray for our country & ALL Americans that there can be a respectful solution for all involved and for all religions to remain intact and protected.
I have supplied some information recently by the USCCB who clearly spent a great deal of time collecting the data to thoroughly expalin the Catholic's position on ths topic and WHY & I thought it was very thoughtfully done. I will pull out some info from that in regard to this and do a follow up post.
