Pope's repudiation of gay marriage makes no sense
To the editor: I had such hope for the new Pope. But apparently my wife and I do not reflect “the fullness of God's plan for humanity,” even though she is a physician and I am an educator. ("Pope Francis eases the way for divorced Catholics, but reiterates opposition to gay unions," April 8)
Because our marriage does not have the capacity to “transmit human life,” it is invalid in the eyes of the church; yet, ironically, many of us, including my family, are helping to resolve the abortion conundrum by adopting children. Should my parents' marriage of 65 years be invalidated because they were unable to have children and also adopted?
While divorce and second marriages become increasingly accepted within the Catholic Church and within society as a whole, the now legal marriages of gays and lesbians continue to lie in the balance of these religious fringes. Pope Francis' “care” in recognizing all marriages would not constitute a weakening of faith, but “would be a testimony to the indissolubility of marriage itself.”
