Maine bishop praises voters for defending traditional marriage
05-11-2009
Bishop Richard Malone of Portand has issued a statement praising Maine voters for preventing the legalization of homosexual marriage in the state.
"I want to thank the people of Maine for protecting and reaffirming their support for marriage as it has been understood for millennia by civilizations and religions around the world," he added. "I am thankful for those who engaged in sincere and civil discourse on this matter of such serious consequence to our society."
He continued, "I trust that those who voted for such a radical change did so out of concern for our gay brothers and sisters. Respect and acceptance of all people regardless of sexual orientation is not a point of controversy-- indeed, it is a teaching of the Church. While the Catholic Church will continue its commitment to work for the basic human rights to which all people are entitled, it remains devoted to preserving and strengthening the precious gift of marriage."
