Mexican Archbishop: ‘We Will Not Comply’ with
Same-Sex ‘Marriage’
"The Supreme Court can put bishops
and priests in jail, whoever they want to, but the Church cannot go against the
law of Our Lord"
MEXICO CITY, June 25, 2015 (ChurchMilitant.com) - Archbishop Gustavo Rodriguez Vega of Yucatan, Mexico, is refusing to cooperate with
his country's recent decision to start allowing so-called gay marriage.
Openness to children, he insists, is an essential part of true marriage. The
Church, he adds, also rejects the state's new revolutionary notion of what the
marital union entails.
The Mexican prelate explains that the family, a foundational element of
society, "is founded upon marriage between a man and a woman, established
in the ancient legal tradition of the West, a 2,000-year-old tradition."
Marriage, he repeats, "is the union between a man and a woman who want to
have children."
Thus goes his reasoning for why neither he nor the Church can wed
homosexual couples. And he maintains that no government can force the Church to
participate in the Mexican Supreme Court's attempted redefinition of a
millenia-old institution.
