POL-AM BISHOP DECRIES HOMO MARRIAGE RULING

Edited by: Administrator  Jul 1, 08, 07:39  #1

The Very Rev Thomas Weński, the Polish-American Bishop of Orlando, Florida has decried the California Supreme Court’s decision to overturn a ban on same sex marriage, saying the act of “raw judicial activism”. Writing in the Ocala Star Banner, Bishop Weński said advocates of homosexual marriage erroneously label their opponents as intolerant bigots. “To defend marriage as a monogamous union between one man and one woman is not bigotry… nor are the efforts of those who seek to enshrine in state or federal constitutions the ‘traditional’ understanding of marriage intolerant.”

I have to admit that I am getting tired of those topics about gay marriage and such.

It is there and some countries are better than others.

Of course the Bishop had to say something, otherwise it would meant tha the approves. Right.
Polonius3:
?anyone can essentially create his or her own reality. This side holds for a radical autonomy by which truth is determined not by the nature of things but by one's own individual will.? That position, in the bishop?s view, is a ?recipe for tyranny.?

good point in a logical sense.
Polonius3:
Truth is not constructed, but received and thus must reflect the reality of things.

absolutely, therefore it is time for him to accept that reality he denies. LOL.

Well, setting aside the right-or-wrong of it, homosexual marriage is a big subject because the gay lobby is very good at getting its message across to the media. If you got 5 percent of the population, many of them affluent and media savvy, very concerned over, say, bottle cap collecting, it would become a hot topic as well.
