Today, six bishops of Córdoba spoke against gay marriage and the possibility for them to adopt children. Opposed to this view, twelve priests that answer to Enrique Angelelli’s group expressed the need to allow “marriages for everyone.” Another priest, Nicholas Alessio said to Radio Mitre 810 “We are Christians, Catholics and priests of the Catholic Church but we are opining on this issue at the antipodes of the view of the episcopate. We are in favor of equal rights, pro-family marriage of homosexuals and gay family.”
The priests have issued a text which claims that “Jesus never set a closed doctrine on marriage” ”he simply followed the customs of his time and came to recognize and defend, in a special way women in a social context sexist and patriarchal. “
The controversy is set to continue after Martin Mauro, of the Multisectoral Justice Natalia Gaitan (organization in defense of gay rights), declared to La Voz “We respect freedom of speech and religion, but we feel that this goes against the basic freedoms and universal human rights.”
