KUDO's to the good Bishop for supporting Catholic teachings. I wish we had even more Bishops faithfully leading their flock.
Archbishop John Nienstedt of St. Paul and Minneapolis has asked every pastor in the archdiocese to form a committee to garner support for the state marriage amendment that will appear on the ballot in November 2012.
“It is imperative that we marshal our resources to educate the faithful about the Church’s teachings on these matters, and to vigorously organize and support a grass roots effort to get out the vote to support the passage of the amendment,” he said as he asked priests to appoint a committee captain. “This person needs to be committed, energetic, and dedicated.”
From the catechism:
1660 The marriage covenant, by which a man and
a woman form with each other an intimate communion of life and love,
has been founded and endowed with its own special laws by the Creator.
By its very nature it is ordered to the good of the couple, as well as
to the generation and education of children. Christ the Lord raised
marriage between the baptized to the dignity of a sacrament (cf. CIC,
can. 1055 § 1; cf. GS 48 § 1).
