Oppose the Canadian Government changing the “definition of marriage” <br/><br/>

Jesus once said to the Pharisees who were trying to test him, “Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?  So they are no longer two, but one.  Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” (Matthew 19: 4-6)<br/><br/>

The Catechism of the Catholic Church points out: "The intimate community of life and love which constitutes the married state has been established by the Creator and endowed by him with its own proper laws…. God himself is the author of marriage.  The vocation to marriage is written in the very nature of man and woman as they came from the hand of the Creator. Marriage is not a purely human institution…” (no. 1603)<br/><br/>

Therefore, the current Canadian government’s move to legislate a change in the definition of marriage fails to respect natural laws as well as God’s instructions.  We should have the courage to stand up for the truth.<br/><br/>

Also, no matter if one has a hetero- or homosexual orientation, one must abide by the same virtue of chastity in order to enter the kingdom of God.<br/><br/>

Corrections: The terms “Atheist” was incorrectly used, correct translation is “Orthodox Church”; “New Religion” refers to the “Protestant Church”.  Finally, the “Counting Team” refers to the official “Collection Counting Team”.
