"It’s hard to imagine how the essential meaning of marriage as between
the two sexes, understood in our nation for over two hundred years, and
consistent with every society throughout all of human history, could be
declared illegal. To those arguing for a constitutional redefinition of
marriage, one must ask: when did the Constitution suddenly mandate a
novel and unfounded definition of marriage? To ask such a question is
not a judgment on anyone. It is a matter of justice and truth. The
central issue at stake is: what is marriage? The answer is: a bond which
unites a man and a woman to each other and to any children who come
from their union. Only a man and a woman can unite their bodies in a way
that creates a new human being. Marriage is thus a unique and beautiful
reality which a society respects to its benefit or ignores to its
peril." - "Father of Prop 8" and drunk driver Archbishop Salvatore
Cordileone, in a press release issued on behalf of the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops.
