Bishops absolutely opposed to same-sex marriage
In a statement released yesterday the Irish Bishop’s Conference reaffirmed its stance on gay people’s fight to have their relationships recognised. The bishops said marriage should be more than a relationship between two people and could not be compromised by personal or legal trends.
“Christian tradition holds that sexual differentiation is intrinsic to our understanding of the sacrament of marriage. Marriage has a meaning that is not reducible to individuals’ intentions and society’s laws.
