“President
Obama’s comments today in support of the redefinition of marriage are deeply
saddening. As I stated in my public letter to the President on September 20,
2011, the Catholic Bishops stand ready to affirm every positive measure taken
by the President and the Administration to strengthen marriage and the family.
However, we cannot be silent in the face of words or actions that would
undermine the institution of marriage, the very cornerstone of our society. The
people of this country, especially our children, deserve better. Unfortunately,
President Obama’s words today are not surprising since they follow upon various
actions already taken by his Administration that erode or ignore the unique
meaning of marriage. I pray for the President every day, and will continue to
pray that he and his Administration act justly to uphold and protect marriage
as the union of one man and one woman. May we all work to promote and protect
marriage and by so doing serve the true good of all persons.”
