Questions and Answers about Marriage and Same-Sex Unions.This bulletin insert addresses questions such as “What is Marriage?”, and “Why is it so important to society that marriage be preserved as the exclusive union of a man and a woman?” Marriage is the foundation of the family, which is the basic unit of society. It is the best condition for raising children; with a stable loving relationship between mother and father. “Marriage is a basic human and social institution. Though regulated by civil laws and church laws, it did not originate from either the church of state, but from God. Therefore, neither church nor state can alter the basic meaning and structure of marriage.”
The complementarity of male and female makes possible the conjugal union that can serve as the transmission of human life and to build up the bond between husband and wife. Persons of the same sex cannot enter into true conjugal union. Giving same sex unions the legal status of marriage grants official public approval to homosexual activity. Redefining marriage to make other relationships equivalent to it devalues the institution of marriage, weakening the family unit. The breakdown of the family is responsible for too many poor outcomes for the children involved.
