Only joking. I like and agree with your point of view. Accepting each person in Christ's name, includes accepting their sexuality and need for intimacy and relationship. Something that has concerned me about the whole debate on marriage, though, has been how the pro-change lobby have linked it with human rights. No-one has an inalienable right to marriage. Everyone has of course to be protected under the law from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation; and have their rights to friendship and relationship protected. This is already addressed in civil partnership legislation. As you point out, marriage has a value that transcends the perceived rights of the couple involved. It is more that a word. You say it is a triumph of common sense in a secular state. If common sense relates to the common good; then this may prove to be damaging to society in the long term.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422573165210398444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997686647692479278.post-79205650490515351582013-02-08T13:47:46.451-08:002013-02-08T13:47:46.451-08:00I dont expect Pope Benedict to agree,that is not h...I dont expect Pope Benedict to agree,that is not how the church works: it is the role of the leadershop to hold the centre and resist rapid change.
