The Archbishop of New Orleans reacts to todays Supreme Court decisions

Archbishop Aymond responds to ruling on DOMA

A statement from Archbishop Gregory Aymond:
 
 
Today's Supreme Court ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is deeply disappointing. This is another way in which traditional marriage is being eroded in our society. As Catholic Christians, we are called to share our faith and to defend marriage as a privileged relationship between a man and a woman in which they share in procreation with God. We will continue to speak out respectfully and with love with those who do not agree with us, but the Catholic Church's position on the dignity of marriage remains unchanged because it is rooted in the Bible and particularly in the teaching of Jesus. - Archbishop Gregory Aymond
