The Coming Families of the Next Generation

FEATURE ARTICLE

     It could well be said with the declaration of "Same Sex Marriage" by President Obama that there will be many non-traditional marriages and/or unions. It's well known that we already have many  States that allow same sex marriage, and what is not known is how each state will treat the benefit-rights annuring from Federal and State Agencies. The courts are going to be full of claims, counter-claims and cases which will subsume hundreds of thousands of men and women in legal wrangling who will want to claim their just due.
     It seems rather absurd to me to have to justify and prove what a family is, and has been, since the most primitive of tribes and peoples in the world of recorded history. But, quoted below is a small inkling of what I am referring to:
     Same Sex Marriage in the United States,commentator Rachel Maddow expressed her frustration with the Obama Administration position on same-sex marriage in August 2010. In response to Senior White House Adviser David Axelrod's statement on President Obama's position: "The president does oppose same-sex marriage but he supports equality for gay and lesbian couples in benefits and other issues", Maddow said,

"Got that? So the line from the administration is that Barack Obama does not want gay people to be allowed to be married, but when gay people can be married and other people are trying to take away that right like in California, he doesn't want the right to be taken away. But, he's not in favor of that right in the first place. You got it? The president is against gay marriage but he is also against constitutional amendments to ban gay marriage, which means that he'd apparently prefer that gay marriage be banned through flimsier tactical means? That's the president's position. Clear as mud. Ripe for criticism much?"[100]MSNBC

     How can a Catholic/Christian advise their child what is right and wrong from this abomination of information coming our of the White-House?

     The answer is one-sided and simple. For believers you follow the teachings of Our Lord and Savior that are found in Christian Bibles. If you are a Catholic, like I am, I don't need to pay attention to Obama to know what is right. The Catholic Church's teachings have not changed for more than 2,000 years. Marriage is between one man and one woman, and "marriage" is also a sacrament in the Catholic Church which is defined as a union between a man and an woman that will become one flesh.

     It seems that we are going to have to endure a great deal of legal confrontation in our land before we can settle this issue as a matter of civil law. These civil laws have nothing to do with Church law, and for those that are looking for the church and the new Pope to change the rules about: marriage, contraception, abortion, and euthanasia, they will be sorely disappointed. It is not going to happen!

The continued deterioration of the family in the U.S. is going to cause an equal amount of disharmony and irreparable harm to the social development fabric throughout our urban plains; and, an increase as well in all forms of crime, unrest, and poverty which pulls down economic productivity where the harmony of the family, a man and a woman, will produce stability and continuity for a healthier, brighter more productive future. It goes better with a real mom, and a real dad! Anything else is just not as good.
