I thought I would add to your "collection" of responses to today's Supreme Court rulings on marriage equality.
The Catholic bishops call the rulings TRAGIC!
“Today is a tragic day for marriage and our nation. The Supreme Court has dealt a profound injustice to the American people by striking down in part the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The Court got it wrong. The federal government ought to respect the truth that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, even where states fail to do so
And of course, the Catholic bishops interpretation of "truth" must be codified into civil law!
And here's more twisted thinking from Catholic bishops:
“Our culture has taken for granted for far too long what human nature, experience, common sense, and God’s wise design all confirm: the difference between a man and a woman matters, and the difference between a mom and a dad matters.
So marriage equality means there will be no more moms and dads! There will be no more differences between men and women because of marriage equality!
No, the real "tragedy" is that Catholic bishops insist on forcing everyone to accept their
dogma.
