Civil Unions in Illions

"Everyone has a right to marry, but no one has a right to change the nature of marriage, marriage is what it is and always has been, no matter what a legislature decides to do; however, the public understanding of marriage will be negatively affected by the passage of a bill that ignores the natural fact that sexual complementarity is at the core of marriage." Cardinal George

Well the Catholics, as well as all the other denominations, didn't pay much attention to the Cardinal's words. Even worse, they didn't take in the meaning of what he said. Last night the Illinois House of Reps, passed a civil unions bill, which in Illinois law equates to a same-sex marriage.

It was incredible to watch as Speaker Michael Madigan, a Catholic, vigorously worked the floor during the debate, twisting the arms of members in order to secure legislators' votes for same-sex marriage. Illinois House of Reps. is now officially unable to make moral distinctions. And haven't we had enough of legislators who can't make moral distinctions?

Since the great sexual revolution of the 60's, we have had pleasure without consequences. Now we have subsidized pleasure without consequences.
