More hate mail from the Catholic Church on same-sex marriage

A letter from a number of senior Catholics, plus over a thousand Catholic priests, has today been published in the Daily Telegraph on the topic of same-sex marriage. I am quoting the letter in full below, together with the name of every signatory. Not of course because I agree with what is said in the letter, but because I want to record here the depths to which this so-called 'Christian' organisation will stoop to further its hateful bigotry. Also to place on record here the names of those who have lent their support to this bigotry so that all may know who they are - they will have to answer for their action one day I hope. Personally, I would like to see the charitable status of the Catholic Church revoked in the UK - it offends and disgusts me that my taxes contribute to the funding of this hate-peddling organisation. There are many flaws in logic in the letter and a few actual falsehoods (e.g. it is factually incorrect that Catholics may currently participate fully in the life of this country, given that a Catholic many not be Monarch of the UK, not a situation which I feel acceptable, whatever I may think of the Catholic Church). Quite why an organisation which forbids its own personnel from entering into any kind of marriage (priests and nuns are bound by vows of celibacy and chastity) can be considered a source of moral guidance on marriage of all subjects is really rather bizarre, don't you think? In any case, the legislation being proposed will not force any religious organisation to marry same-sex couples if it does not wish to, any more than the Catholic Church is forced to go against its 'doctrine' by marrying divorced persons. Nor do some heterosexual couples who choose to get married necessarily have to procreate by having children, either because they do not wish to or because one or other of the couple cannot do so. Are these marriages any less valid? Whether the Catholic Church itself chooses to marry same-sex couples or divorced persons is, to be quite honest, a matter of supreme indifference to me, but they should certainly not be able to exercise any kind of veto about such unions taking place under civil authority or by religious organisations that do wish to perform them; the same comments apply to the Church of England, incidentally. There are, despite the scaremongering that the Catholic Church seeks to engage in, NO negative consequences in legislating to permit same-sex marriage - instead it will be a very positive development both for those directly involved and for the wider community by encouraging stable family units. I don't particularly 'like' divorce, any more than does the Catholic Church, but I do not believe same-sex marriages will diminish in any way the value of heterosexual marriage or reduce its stability, rather they are likely to increase the cohesiveness or society as a whole. Whether a married couple (heterosexual or same-sex) stays together long-term in happiness is entirely a personal matter between the two people concerned and about which outsiders very often have little useful to contribute, except to wish the best for the couple involved and perhaps, if invited to do so, to offer a sounding-board for them to discuss the ways in which their marriage may be failing. I think the Catholic Church would be a much better and more worthwhile organisation if it were to re-evaluate its stances on these and other matters.

It would appear that, for whatever reason, the Catholic priest at St Mary's Church in Nairn, Rev. Francis Barnett SJ, does not appear as a signatory to the letter, as a matter of information.

The letter in full (to read it in the Daily Telegraph, click here and scroll down the page):

Same-sex marriage law SIR – After centuries of persecution, Catholics have, in recent times, been able to be members of the professions and participate fully in the life of this country. Legislation for same-sex marriage, should it be enacted, will have many legal consequences, severely restricting the ability of Catholics to teach the truth about marriage in their schools, charitable institutions or places of worship. It is meaningless to argue that Catholics and others may still teach their beliefs about marriage in schools and other arenas if they are also expected to uphold the opposite view at the same time. The natural complementarity between a man and a woman leads to marriage, seen as a lifelong partnership. This loving union – because of their physical complementarity – is open to bringing forth and nurturing children. This is what marriage is. That is why marriage is only possible between a man and a woman. Marriage, and the home, children and family life it generates, is the foundation and basic building block of our society. We urge Members of Parliament not to be afraid to reject this legislation now that its consequences are more clear.
