Statement by Bishop Paul S. Loverde and Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo on Supreme Count Marriage Decision: On June 26th, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution requires states to issue marriage licenses to two person of the same sex, and requires a state
to recognize as marriage the union of two people of the same sex when it was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state. We are deeply distressed by this decision which fails to uphold marriage as the union
which unites one man and one woman. This fundamental institution, grounded in natural law, predates
any religion or nation. All persons have inviolable dignity and deserve love and respect. Unjust discrimination is always wrong. However, our commitment to marriage is a matter of justice and fidelity to our
Creator’s original design. Marriage is the only institution uniting one man and one woman with each
other and with any child who comes from their union. Redefining marriage furthers no one’s rights, least
of all those of children. As bishops, we believe it is more vital than ever that we share the Church’s consistent witness to the truth about marriage, and we call on Catholics and those concerned for the common
good to continue to pray, live and speak out with charity about the true nature of marriage. The truth cannot be marginalized. We will join our brother bishops from across the country when we shortly share an
additional statement from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which will provide further analysis.
