Good article by Cardinal Francis George, O.M.I. on "same-sex" marriage legislation

The Cardinal has been very good with this issue and this article really covers alot of good points in the Catholic New World newspaper.

I like these quotes from the article:

*The Legislature might just as well repeal the law of gravity.

If the nature of marriage is destroyed in civil law, the natural family goes with it.

The media have engaged in a campaign on this issue…desensitizing people to accept as normal something that had previously been recognized as problematic. *

The usual arguments against and the usual counter-arguments.

Yes, this kind of legislation goes against the family…and as the family goes so goes society.

This is touched on in this document as well -
