Archbishop urges Catholic voters to defend marriage
Archbishop urges Catholic voters to defend marriage
The Newark archbishop is urging more than one million Roman Catholics in North Jersey – especially Catholic politicians – to defend marriage against those he says would “deconstruct or radically alter its meaning.”
In a pastoral statement Tuesday, Archbishop John Myers said equating same-sex marriage to marriage as “it has traditionally been understood” damages the institutions of marriage and family. He says redefining marriage would “enshrine in law a nonoptimal way to raise children as equivalent to that which is best.”

Who cares what these kiddie touches say?
They don’t make the laws in this nation where there is separation of church and state.
They need to stay out of the conversation.
