Supreme Court rules that states must allow gay ‘marriage’

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 26, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – The Supreme Court has ruled that the U.S. Constitution contains an inalienable right to same-sex “marriage.”
In a 5-4 ruling handed down this morning, the justices ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment requires states to offer marriage licenses to homosexual couples.
The justices also ruled that a state must recognize such a union performed in another state.
Justice Anthony Kennedy joined the liberal bloc of Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan and wrote the 28-page decision.
Each of the four dissenting justices -- Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito – wrote his own, separate dissent.
The conservatives wrote that the majority opinion imperils religious liberty, twists the Constitution, and disenfranchises the American people.
In overturning that decision, the five liberal justices strongly endorsed the notion that the Constitution is a living document, subject to the views of a rotating cadre of enlightened judges. While the Founding Fathers did not specify a right to same-sex “marriage,” the justices wrote that they possessed “a better informed understanding” of how “to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning.”
They dismissed millions of citizens who voted for marriage protection amendments in dozens of states as people seeking merely to “lock...out,” “disparage,” “disrespect and subordinate,” and inflict “dignitary wounds” upon homosexuals.
“These apparent assaults on the character of fair-minded people will have an effect, in society and in court,” Justice Roberts wrote in his dissent.
On the other hand, homosexual couples seeking to redefine an institution that has stood for millennia did not “disrespect the idea of marriage” but merely asked “not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law.”
“The Constitution grants them that right,” they concluded.
All four dissents branded the decision an ill-conceived example of judicial activism that thwarted the democratic process.
The razor-thin margin of the vote heightened its controversy.
“At least two members of the Court’s majority opinion were under a legal duty to recuse and refrain from voting,” wrote the Foundation for Moral Law, a pro-marriage organization, after the ruling.
Justices Ginsburg and Kagan performed same-sex “marriage” ceremonies, calling into question their impartiality and possibly breaking judicial ethics, critics said.
Without their votes, the decision would have upheld marriage by a 4-3 margin.
The foundation wrote, “Their failure to recuse calls into question the validity of this decision.”
USCCB president calls Supreme Court ruling on marriage
‘tragic error’
The president of the U.S. bishops’ conference called the Supreme Court’s June 26 marriage ruling “a tragic error” and he urged Catholics to move forward with faith “in the unchanging truth about marriage being between one man and one woman.”
“Regardless of what a narrow majority of the Supreme Court may declare at this moment in history, the nature of the human person and marriage remains unchanged and unchangeable,” said Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky.http://cnstopstories.com/2015/06/26/usccb-president-calls-supreme-court-ruling-on-marriage-tragic-error/
LGBT group backed by Cardinal to march in London’s huge ‘gay pride’ parade
Westminster Cardinal Vincent Nichols says LGBT Catholics Westminster is hoping it will serve as an “opportunity for evangelization,” but also notes that they “arranged independently” to march in the event.
The group’s leader, ex-priest Martin Prendergast, has been in a homosexual civil partnership with Julian Filochowski, the former head of Cafod, since 2006. Cafod is the official bishops’ conference charity for overseas development.
