Archbishop of San Francisco: Rhode Island’s legalisation of same-sex marriage is an ‘injustice’

The Archbishop of San Francisco, Salvatore Cordileone, responded by calling the legislation a “serious injustice”, and arguing that it would harm vulnerable children.
“Marriage is the only institution that unites a man and a woman to each other and to any child conceived of their union,” Cordileone said. “While those making great sacrifices to raise their children in less than ideal circumstances need and deserve our love and support, we cannot claim to have a just society if we do not look out for the most vulnerable among us: children.
“That means preserving in the law the principle that every child deserves a mother and father united in marriage. That means supporting in our institutions and in our culture the true and unique meaning of marriage.”
