SAN FRANCISCO: Drunk Driving Archbishop Denounces DOMA Ruling

"The recognition that marriage is and can only be the union of one man and one woman is grounded in our nature, being clear from the very way our bodies are designed.This recognition obliges our consciences and laws. It is a matter of basic rights—the right of every child to be welcomed and raised, as far as possible, by his or her mother and father together in a stable home. Marriage is the only institution whereby a man and a woman unite for life and are united to any child born from their union. The public good demands that the unique meaning and purpose of marriage be respected in law and society, not rejected as beyond the constitutional pale. Redefining marriage never upholds the equal dignity of individuals because it contradicts basic human rights." - San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore "Father Of Prop 8" Cordileone, telling Catholic World News that last week's overturn of DOMA was "unjust and a great disappointment."
