Note this paragraph, the emboldened part in my view, almost looks like it would pertain to at least what are called “Unions” nowadays. “Same Sex Unions” at that.
What does one think of this? I would urge those interested to read the short article as I only took one paragraph out of context as the purpose of this thread.
The whole story is about the Archbishop’s words being “misunderstood” when reported in the press, however, it is interesting that here, he seems to echo at least, what some gay rights advocates want. I have often heard same-sex marriage advocates say they just want the same rights to visit in the hospital, social security benefits, taxation, insurance, inheritance rights and those things as their call for equal rights. In other words, Spousal Benefits.
I’ll leave it at that but welcome any responses… because sometimes we get the straight, “it’s a sinful lifestyle”, we should in no way sanction it, this view seems more popular with some Fundamentalist types I would say who yes, at times, do go overboard and it might appear a bit stern when listening to their words such as a commentator like Bryan Fischer. Then again, perhaps this Archbishop is largely voicing his own personal view.
I somewhat agree with his terminology AND that same sex unions should never be called Marriage as that should be only between a man and a woman.
