I just read this article:
hirado.hu/Hirek/2013/06/05/21/Roman_alkotmanytervezet_a_csalad_egy_ferfi_es_egy.aspx
couldn’t find it in English anywhere. Some translating tool should give you an idea of what it is talking about. The main point is that on Wednesday, June 5, 2013 a parliamentary committee that is preparing a constitutional amendment in Romania has incorporated into the draft text of an amendment that the family is constituted by “the marriage of a man and a woman.”
The current constitution speaks about family being founded by the voluntary determination both spouses.
The clarification, which would make virtually impossible any subsequent approval of gay marriage, was built into the draft of the amendment to the constitution at the proposal of the Romanian Orthodox Church.

Well, I wish this proposed draft would be approved and incorporated in the Romanian Constitution.
 
This would follow the Hungarian example. EC law takes precedence over natioal laws, but cannot trump a written constitution. Changing a constitution after joining the “club” is a challenge to the centrist project. Hungary has had to endure a heap of mud-slinging and name calling since adopting a Catholic and socially conservative constitution.

Romania will need our prayers.

Pray for us!!**
 
Don’t forget Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, pray for us!
