Message from Bishop Francis Duffy re Marriage Referendum
It is important to listen to all voices, especially minority voices.  We may be moved by some of what we hear and we might not agree with everything we hear but it is important to be respectful of differing opinions.  In our constitution “The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded, and to protect it against attack” (41.3.1).  Marriage matters because it is about the unique relationship between a man and a woman.  The complementarity of man and woman can give rise to new life.  To change the meaning of marriage will undo the uniqueness that marriage represents and that it celebrates.  It is important that we reflect before we change the meaning of marriage.  See:  www.meaningofmarriage.ie
