Any religious argument is moot, thanks to the First Amendment, which states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” It is thus that our forefathers sought to protect all Americans from the religious zealotry of a few, or even many.
But of course, the quote from Cardinal George makes no religious argument at all. He merely states the biological facts: humans come in two complementary sexes. Opposite sex pairs are needed to engage in specifically marital relations. Thus, same sex marriage is simply an impossibility.
This is the grammar police.
I would like to help you if I can’t. First of all any laws created by men are not the same as any law created by God. In order to find the difference you cannot just search blindly because searching for a constitutional basis will not give you a satisfactory reason why God forbids such conditions. There are 613 laws that have come to us over the last 6000 years brought to us by the chosen people in Israel. This space does not allow for me to engage in a conversation of that magnitude but I would be more than happy if you send me your e-mail address to send you copies of these laws and their explanations which by and large fall in line with civil law. With God’s law there is a greater degree of consequence that you will be held responsible for regardless of what you may think at this time in your life. But I can tell you this if you send your e-mail to me I will send you not only those answers to come from Hebrew Scripture which goes back thousands of years but I will also give you where you can find it in any Bible that you happen to have around your place of residence they all have it but you will never find it unless you know the code or the key for the understanding if you can find. What I will send you is more than just the law- but I will give you in the same language that it was given to us; Hebrew; and at the same time I will show you which one came first and also where you can find it in the first five books of the law which every Bible has. If you are seeking this kind of an in-depth answer understand that what I am telling you is not what the average liberal is interested in hearing which tells you something about who they are following, God, Christ, the Holy Spirit. If you do not have the Blessed Trinity in your heart you will never have the wisdom or discernment to know what applies to you and what does not apply to you. There are many more things that we have compromised in this nation that was dedicated by the very first president, George Washington, when he was inaugurated as president he his entire cabinet walked did not run from where he was inaugurated to a little small church that still stands after all this time not far from the 9/11 destruction of the towers. However, Pres. Washington prayed in an effort to re-dedicate this land, the United States of America, to God Almighty and this is where the United States was born putting God on such things as the money, state buildings, schools and businesses of all sorts. It is true that our roots are grounded in the roots that God gave us and God cries every day when he sees what the heathens are doing to hurt him. I’m sorry but I am having to wipe my eyes because what hurts God also hurts me. We have more tradition than were ever given an opportunity to understand or to be taught and we have the obligation to teach our children all there is to know about God and what it means to love to serve and to obey the law of God. Where do we get off thinking like we are better than God who has had to fight this ever since he created the angel of light (Lucifer) and the effect that this evil creature as the audacity to do the best he can to turn us away from God to kill unborn children to cause harm with alcohol by consuming it and wasting all that we could possibly do to help mankind turn towards God and not be misled into the pains of hell by Lucifer who cares nothing for you but he wants to steal all that belongs to God the Creator of all things. You should have my e-mail attached to this note in some way and also I want to give you my phone number: (586) 994-1725. I serve God every day because he commands me to do the things he gives me to do. Thank you, Lawrence.

Jim,
Women making medical decisions on their own? What WERE they thinking?Jim,
I like your presentation. The problem is that a woman’s right to abortion wasn’t in there either, but somehow they “found” it.
I am afraid in the long run that Tracer will be proven correct. So that’s another reason to vote this November.

Marriage is a reflection of the biological necessity of a one-to-one heterosexual union for procreation, true enough, and it provides a legal framework that strengthens that union for the benefit of all.
You’re gonna have to explain this one
If they were married in a state or country that legally recognizes same gendered marriage…then like it or not they are married.
The problem with this kind of approach to constitutional interpretation is that very few users of it actually use it consistently. You could literally use the exact same argument to argue that the equal protection clause doesn’t ban racial segregation laws because the congress that wrote the 14th amendment didn’t intend it to bar separate but equal.
You are assigning motives to an entire group of people and I am sure you don’t know their or any one else’s motives.
That’s a fairly big claim. Any evidence for it?
The only way this is true is if you make Marriage = Procreation. That is not the case secular law, so your point that “Opposite sex pairs are needed” doesn’t apply.
