L.A. Bishops on Same-Sex Marriage
LOS ANGELES, JUNE 16, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Here is the statement released today by the bishops of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles titled "The State of California and Same-Sex Marriage."
The Catholic Bishops of the United States have affirmed repeatedly that persons with a homosexual orientation "must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity."[1] Accordingly the Bishops condemn all forms of violence, scorn, and hatred -- whether subtle or overt -- against men and women who are homosexual. All people, regardless of sexual inclination, are called to holiness; and "should be encouraged to take an active role in the faith community" and to live according to its teachings.[2]
