US Bishops on Marriage Decision: ‘A Tragic Error’
In an official statement, Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, called today's Supreme Court ruling ‘profoundly immoral and unjust.’
WASHINGTON — Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, Ky., president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has released the following statement regarding today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex civil marriage nationally:
Regardless of what a narrow majority of the Supreme Court may declare at this moment in history, the nature of the human person and marriage remains unchanged and unchangeable. Just as Roe v. Wade did not settle the question of abortion over 40 years ago, Obergefell v. Hodges does not settle the question of marriage today. Neither decision is rooted in the truth, and as a result, both will eventually fail. Today, the court is wrong again. It is profoundly immoral and unjust for the government to declare that two people of the same sex can constitute a marriage.
