a) Obama said it was a states’ rights issue, so you need to speak to the overlord about that and inform him you know better. plus, it is by definition a states’ rights issue, since it is being voted on at the state level.

Overlord?? I wasn’t aware we had them in the US. I disagree with the President; it is a National issue.

b) You lost me when you you used Natural Law to demand marriage equality. Do you even know what Natural Law is?

Do you?? Can you sight page numbers??

And no one is going to report some random guy named Kevin from Catholic Answers to anyone.

Most certainly. I see posters on here who has everything figured out and thay claim to know more than Rome.

You’re wrong, but that isn’t really our problem. God handles those sort of things.

I’m right and are you having a Private Revelation?

Marriage is a National issue.

Civil Rights are a National issue.

States Rights is a Dead issue (see: Civil War)

Natural law dictates that we shall have marriage equality – it is the only just and proper thing to do.

Certain Church leaders (Catholic + others) will have to do some great gymnastics to get themselves out the corner which they painted themselves in.

Report me to the Inquisition, the Bishop, and/or Rome that is your right, but be careful not to set yourself up as any of the above (unless by odd chance you are His Holiness reading this).

The Catholic Church will not be doing any mental gymnastics “to get themselves out of a corner.” The teaching on marriage is constant and will not change. The teaching on marriage goes back 2,000 years, and even longer. No society has ever accepted homosexual marriage. Some cultures have accepted polygamy, but never homosexual marriage. Some cultures have accepted homosexual behavior, but never homosexual marriage.

It’s rather like demanding that women have an equal right to be fathers, and that men have an equal right to be mothers. It’s a biological impossibility. Homosexual marriage is an impossibility because same sex couples are incapable of engaging in marital intercourse.

Simply not a true statement. I hear there is a lot of sex going on. 😃

That’s fine, but the fact that states are voting on it means it isn’t a national issue, BY DEFINITION.

Yes, my vision is 20/20 on the left, 20/15 on the right.

Not sure what “most certainly” means in this context, so I’ll just say go Orioles.

You’re wrong, and no. I was told not to post or tweet them any more. St. Francis Xavier can be quite taskmaster.

  1. The President is not going to do anything of the kind within the election cycle (unless Israel moves against Iran by which the President would be forced to support the action – but that seems unlikely now).
  2. Because it would further destabilize the region if Iran’s current government no longer held power. It would further damage the U.S. position in Iraq; it would also further weaken the current Afgan government by damaging its legitimacy via its U.S. backing.
  3. It would force those same governments to further distance themselves from the United States (with the United States still providing aid to support each other governments to ensure their survival, particularly in Afghanistan).
  4. Any direct attack by the United States would further Iranian paranoia and force their hand to make some sort of retaliation with regard to their navy and cause the price of oil to skyrocket.
  5. It makes more sense to treat Iran like the Soviet Union with regard to the nuclear umbrella in Southeast Asia (Japan) and Europe.
  6. The United States cannot afford another war with an inevitable ensuing insurgency. Also, the general American public has too much invested in domestic matters to lend lengthy support to another costly and drawn-out war in the Middle East.

Not true. It is a Civil Rights issue. One day soon all those silly and discriminatory States’ laws and constitutional amendments will be set aside by a Supreme Court ruling. (see topic inter racial marriages, see also: Civil War)

For the record it is NOT gay marriage, but marriage equality.

You know, this is a clever idea. If my father-in-law passes before my mother-in-law, I think my wife and I just might consider a divorce and I’ll marry my mother-in-law. There would be no barrier based upon cosanguinity. So, why not? 😉
