Archbishop Martin: Clerics 'cannot support' marriage amendment

The Primate of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland has intervened in the Marriage Equality referendum.

Eamon Martin has issued in a statement in which he says clerics "cannot support an amendment to the Constitution which redefines marriage and effectively places the union of two men, or two women, on a par with the marriage relationship between a husband and wife which is open to the procreation of children."
