Broken Homes or Same-Sex Marriage?
I went to mass tonight. A friend was visiting me and at times he would come with me to church. I don’t normally ask as I don’t want to appear as if I am trying to make him go to church. I would rather have him ask me if he would like to join me (which he’s done in the past). I am more pleased when he does it out of his own accord than my asking him to come with me. So, off we went.
I noticed that in the past three or four weeks, my church has been soliciting signatures for a petition that would block the state’s (New Jersey) recognition of same-sex marriage. I never had a problem with the church saying that as I have known ever since that the Catholic Church condemns homosexuality. In fact, the past two weeks – I listened and watched as the priest asked the parishioners to sign the petition. I don’t have any objection to anyone who would like to sign the petition. I just won’t sign it.
