New York Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan is concerned that state senators might “re-invent the very definition” of marriage—society’s basic institution—as five more lawmakers pledged to support a same-sex “marriage” bill.

“Not every desire, urge, want, or chic cause is automatically a ‘right,’” the archbishop explained in his June 14 blog post titled “The True Meaning of Marriage.” True freedom, he said, is not “the license to do whatever we want, but the liberty to do what we ought.”

Later that day, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo presented the “Marriage Equality Act” to the state legislature after a key Republican senator voiced support for it. Four Democrats who previously voted against same-sex “marriage” said on June 13 that they would support the bill.

No. There is a clause in the Bill exempting organizations based on religious belief. I still do not want marriage to be re-defined or for this to pass the State Senate.

They are getting their foot in the door first. Next they will be fighting the Church on discrimination grounds.
