More Than 300 Republicans Call on Supreme Court to Recognize Gay Marriage Nationally

Signers include former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Sens. Susan Collins and Mark Kirk and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker

More than 300 veteran Republican lawmakers, operatives and consultants have filed a friend of the court brief at the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage late Thursday.

The amicus brief, organized by former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, was filed for the four same-sex marriage cases the Court will hear on April 28 that could legalize the unions nationwide. In 2013, Mehlman marshaled a similar effort for the case that overturned California’s Proposition 8, which had banned same-sex marriage in the state.

Invent a right; amend the Constitution to abolish the institution of marriage to guarantee the right they have just “discovered.”

Only a military Dictatorship can reset the Republic.

The sooner the better.

Guess they didn't read the memo.

 

“Marriage is the icon of God’s love for us”

Posted Apr. 2, 2014 by Marriage Unique for a Reason

 

 

Today, Pope Francis concluded his Wednesday catechesis on the Sacraments with a reflection on marriage. He began by explaining that marriage is “A sacrament that leads us to the heart of God’s plan, which is a plan of alliance with his People, with all of us, a plan of communion.” He then explained, “The image of God is a married couple, man and woman, not only man, not only woman, but rather both. This is the image of God: love, God’s alliance with us is represented in the alliance between man and woman.

“We were created to love, as a reflection of God and his love. And in matrimonial union the man and woman realize this vocation, as a sign of reciprocity and the full and definitive communion of life.” When a man and a woman receive the Sacrament of marriage, “God is, so to say, ‘mirrored’ in them, he imprints in them the features and indelible nature of His love. Marriage is the icon of God’s love for us. Indeed, God too is communion: the three Persons of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have always lived and live forever in perfect unity. And this is the mystery of marriage: God makes married couples into one existence. The Bible uses a strong term: it says one ‘flesh’ only, so intimate is the union between man and woman in marriage.” Pope Francis then concluded his catechesis by saying, “Married life is beautiful, and must be protected.”

Let us pray together for the courage to continue to protect the truth of marriage as the union of one man and one woman!

The establishment GOP do stick together when it comes to liberalism.

Fair point.

300? I, along with millions of other Californians voted for Prop 8 to ban same-sex marriage. A few idiots got it overturned. So much for large numbers, we're governed by minority idiots.

“Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

(New Testament, Romans 1:24-27)

The usual GOP-E crowd, embracing perversion and evil, like their liberal Dem soulmates. These are the very people who have worked hand-in-hand to turn this country into such a degenerate, faggoty sewer. They all deserve a deep, dark place in the hottest corners of hell.

You mean like it did in Rome?

The Founding Fathers attained independence without creating a military dictatorship.

Is this not the saddest thing?

What is so demonic about this, including the abominable state of the world is that it facilitates the eventual and obvious coming persecution of Christians (and the Jews) until which time God intervenes on behalf of but the remnant, (if even *they* can endure.

I remember Jesus wondered, aloud, if anyone would be for him upon His return.

This is some Lent, isn’t it?

Hey, a majority of Republican leaders do not support this anti-marriage stuff. But if you pick up your marbles and go home eventually the anti-marriage and anti-life folks might have all the power in the party. Will that have done any good?

Hang in there. There are still a few dozen believers (and a few non-believers) who understand the difference between right and wrong. And, hey, if these folks want to be tolerant of homosexuals, why in the world would they feel like they have to go around touting such an obviously inadvisable lifestyle? Sheesh!!

The self-same Giuliani who took after Obama not loving America? I thought he was red meat and conservative all the way.

This is a money game. There’s a lot of perversion with money.
