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.”

  1. 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.

  2. This man should go back to the cave he came from and not be heard from again.

  3. So a guy who will never be married has a strong opinion about what it should represent? Fuck him and his entire belief system.

  4. I see the Obama drones are out in full force today.

  5. I hated the Catholic Church long before Obama came along, Mr. #4 hiding behind anonymity.
