It should not be surprising that, when confronted about the Roman Catholic Church’s opposition to same-sex marriage, Cardinal Francis George chose to rely upon the usual dismissal of what it means to be lesbian or gay, and to rely upon the same excuses and beliefs which the Vatican has pushed for some time.
As Chuck Colbert reported:
George told student John Falcone his “argument was not with Mother Church but with Mother Nature,” adding that anyone who advocates same-sex marriage or its equivalent “has lost touch with the common understanding of the human race.”
“No one has the right to change marriage,” George went on to say, neither “the Church” nor “the state.”
