"Marriage: Unique for a Reason" says Catholic Bishops

My own bishop, Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland, was recently appointed the new chairman of the American Catholic bishops' Defense of Marriage Committee.

The Committee's campaign is titled,
“Marriage: Unique for a Reason”.

The Committee's website is full of information, brochures, videos": www.marriageuniqueforareason.org

The picture at right is a mosaic of the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joachim and St. Anne. How sweet!

“Marriage and the family are the essential coordinates for society. How well we as a society protect and promote marriage and the family is the measure of how well we stand for the inviolable dignity and good of every individual in our society, without exception. The consequences for our future—especially that of our nation’s children—cannot be greater and must not be ignored,” said Bishop Cordileone.
