Moreover, are child molesters, felons, drug addicts and rapists good parental models? Why does civil marriage law deem their marriages as a fundamental right? Do you believe equal protection and due process constitutional guarantee’s apply only to felony marriages but not homosexual marriages?
Why, since every court and main stream scientific organization has determined homosexuals make great parents?

Please explain.

The Bible gives very specific norms about gender roles in marriage, yet those statements are almost always dropped from the readings at Sunday Mass. Lay lectors usually redact the statements, and priests are too afraid to preach them. It is as if the Body of Christ is embarrassed by the Word of God on the most important of institutions.

I commend to reading Pope Leo XIII’s “Encyclical on Christian Marriage”:

“[Jesus Christ] bore witness to the Jews and to His Apostles that marriage, from its institution, should exist between two only, that is, between one man and one woman; that of two they are made, so to say, one flesh . . . .”

Leo XIII, “ARCANUM” (1880), paragraph 5, http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/leo_xiii/encyclicals/documents/hf_l-xiii_enc_10021880_arcanum_en.html

However, Pope Leo wisely did not drop the matter there. He went farther and discussed the necessary conditions for such a union to exist:

“Secondly, the mutual duties of husband and wife have been defined, and their several rights accurately established. They are bound, namely, to have such feelings for one another as to cherish always very great mutual love, to be ever faithful to their marriage vow, and to give one another an unfailing and unselfish help. The husband is the chief of the family and the head of the wife. The woman, because she is flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bone, must be subject to her husband and obey him; not, indeed, as a servant, but as a companion, so that her obedience shall be wanting in neither honor nor dignity. Since the husband represents Christ, and since the wife represents the Church, let there always be, both in him who commands and in her who obeys, a heaven-born love guiding both in their respective duties. For ‘the husband is the head of the wife; as Christ is the head of the Church. . . Therefore, as the Church is subject to Christ, so also let wives be to their husbands in all things.’”

Id., Paragraph 11.

Later, in 1930, Pius XI had this to say about Leo XIII’s encyclical:

“We declare that, far from being obsolete, it retains its full force at the present day.”

Pius XI, “CASTI CONNUBII” (1930), Paragraph 5. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xi/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xi_enc_31121930_casti-connubii_en.html

We simply won’t be able to reclaim marriage until we teach gender roles consistently with biology and with the natures of the respective genders.

Happy Trails.
