1.Professor Robert George” “They [s-s-marriage advocates] rarely have the foggiest notion of what the arguments are in support of the view they reject or what the intellectual challenges are for the view they hold. They already know the truth and that’s that. So what need is there for reflection, study, deliberation & debate? Why argue with intolerant & anti-civil rights bigots” To the barricades.”

“Of course there is an astonishing degree of ignorance on display in all this, especially when considered in proportion to the certitude and moral passion of liberalism’s true believers. Perhaps it is too much to ask of them, but for those who might perhaps secretly when no “sophisticated urbane friends are looking and want to know why those of us on the other side dissent, and who might be writing are the damning intellectual challenges that “same-sex” marriage advocates have not met and cannot meet here again is the link to “What is Marriage?”

2. J. Peter Nixon‘s “Don’t Lose Ugly” – The Future of Marriage July 15th of “Commonweal”:

“Ten years from now, I would be extremely surprised if gay marriage had not been legalized in most of the Northeast and West Coast. Within 25 years, I expect that the number of states where gay marriage is legal will outnumber those where it is illegal… Opponents of gay marriage – among whom I would include the U.S. Catholic bishops – are going to lose this fight.” [The writer doesn’t consider himself an opponent of gay marriage. Remember that this is so-called Catholic magazine is read by some bishops. They also read “The National Catholic Reporter” which promotes sophisticated heresy.]

“While bishops have not only the right but also the responsibility to bring Catholic teaching into the public square, they also need to do so in ways that do not make them seem uniquely obsessed with the sins of gays and lesbians.” [Bishops are duty bound to inform and minister to homosexually inclined Catholics. This lifestyle is not biologically normal and self-destructive.][What we have is a liberal mindset unattached to the “Catechism of the Catholic Church,” “The Magisterial,” and St. Thomas Aquinas? This mindset has corrupted Catholic academia.]

3. Bishop Thomas J. Olmstead, “Catholics in the Public Square” 18) Are there any “non-negotiable” issues for Catholics involved in politics? There are several issues.

•Protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death;

•Recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family as a union between a man and a woman based on marriage and its defense from attempts to make it juridically equivalent to radically different forms of union which in reality harm it and contribute to its destabilization, obscuring its particular character and its irreplaceable social role;

•The protection of the rights of parents in educate their children:
