The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops released a statement in response to the Supreme Court’s rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act and California’s Proposition 8:
Today is a tragic day for marriage and our nation. The Supreme Court has dealt a profound injustice to the American people by striking down in part the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The Court got it wrong.
The federal government ought to respect the truth that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, even where states fail to do so. The preservation of liberty and justice requires that all laws, federal and state, respect the truth, including the truth about marriage.
It is also unfortunate that the Court did not take the opportunity to uphold California’s Proposition 8 but instead decided not to rule on the matter. The common good of all, especially our children, depends upon a society that strives to uphold the truth of marriage. Now is the time to redouble our efforts in witness to this truth. These …More

The Catholic Church has to stop thinking so SMALL. This is NOT a Catholic Problem but a RELIGIOUS PROBLEM. This is an atheist law change. Catholic, Christians, Jews, Muslims, ... should ALL UNITE and give a UNITED response to the direction our so called FREE COUNTRY is taking. Religious Freedom and our rights to practice what we believe are being taking away and our children will be taught NOT …More
The Catholic Church has to stop thinking so SMALL. This is NOT a Catholic Problem but a RELIGIOUS PROBLEM. This is an atheist law change. Catholic, Christians, Jews, Muslims, ... should ALL UNITE and give a UNITED response to the direction our so called FREE COUNTRY is taking. Religious Freedom and our rights to practice what we believe are being taking away and our children will be taught NOT to believe what GOD wants them to believe. We can only stop this by working together. Remember, MAJORITY RULES in the USA. Catholics are not the MAJORITY but put them together with other Christians, Jews, Muslims ... and they become the MAJORITY.

A majority of Catholics, 54 percent, now support gay marriage, compared to 47 percent of all Americans.
And you've got individual bishops like the allegedly conservative Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco wringing their hands over the decision by the Supremes.
Well, excuse me but who cares what 'Conservative' Sal thinks about anything. He lost his credibility when he was arrested for DUI less …More

Well, excuse me but who cares what 'Conservative' Sal thinks about anything. He lost his credibility when he was arrested for DUI less than a year ago.
The Supreme Court has reflected in their decision exactly what most Catholics want.
The USCCB can stuff their phony indignation.
If these bishops sincerely wanted a change in societal values (which I seriously doubt, starting from Dolan) then it would be up to them to begin to affect that change by educating their own Catholic laity as to what the Catholic Church actually teaches re: homo marriage, abortion, contraception, etc. etc. etc.
Do you think that will happen anytime soon?
