DO NOT JUDGE!

Bible

Lk 6, 36-38

Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful.

“Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.

Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.”

What does it mean to marry someone?

To marry someone means to give oneself completely to that person: husband and wife should live together and be there for each other, with their whole physical and mental constitution. Marriage embraces all areas of life. It is in marriage, where sexual union has its just place, that the love of a man and a woman becomes fruitful. After all, marriage is fundamentally designed to be enlarged into a family with children. Even in marriages in which children are not possible, the union of a man and a woman is the kind of union through which children are conceived. Considering all these aspects, it is not possible to talk about “homosexual marriage”. Even the expression “equality in marriage” is ambiguous. Both husband and wife have equal dignity as human persons. But their different and complementary roles are rooted in their very being—even to the level of their chromosomes.
