Same-sex marriage runs counter to traditional institution of marriage
An understanding that is true and redemptive sees same-sex marriage as a manifestation of the brokenness of the human condition, and, as such, should invite compassion. We all have to live our brokenness.
Indeed, homosexuals can be seen as wounded and the condition constitutes an appeal of the utmost poignancy for mankind to acknowledge limitation and to bear each other burdens.
But to talk of marriage in a situation where the necessary constituents are manifestly absent is to insult that institution.
Moreover, for society to suggest to young persons with a same-sex orientation that it is, as it were, but a variation on a theme, is to tell them a lie.
It will not help them to come to terms with their existential condition, which will always remain a challenge.
For us, in society, to no longer be able to recognise the plainly intended order of creation is to be in denial. If we choose to ignore the order of things, then there can be no reference points or authority by which mankind can save itself from its own self-manipulation.
Unfortunately, there is ample evidence that social engineering across a range of issues is already well advanced.
As an example, of the 17-plus countries that recognise same-sex marriage, not one has done so on foot of a referendum of the people; rather, legislative decisions or judicial/court rulings have introduced the redefinition.
In the only country — Croatia — where the issue has been put to the people, it has been rejected by a 65/35 ratio.
