The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)  — the official group that represents the Catholic Church in America — is in the middle of a two-​day annual meeting and has decided to declare war on gay marriage, at the expense of all else. Despite a recent poll titled, “Catholics in America,” that found American Catholics see opposition to same-​sex marriage equality as low on their list of what the Church should be focusing on, the USCCB has spent a good portion of the day on its anti-​gay agenda, which included the introduction of a new anti-​gay website, “Marriage: Unique For A Reason.”

The new site says, “it is hoped that Marriage: Unique for a Reason can be of assistance to all people of good will who seek to understand the truth and beauty of marriage.” We agree. Marriage is unique, and beautiful, and should therefore not be declined to same-​sex couples.
