ANF members in California worked
hard to promote Prop 22, a proposition on the March 7 ballot,
which guarantees that only marriage between a man
and a woman is valid or recognized in California,
and to save California from the horrors of same-sex marriage.
Our Ladys volunteers went out to the streets and to
other public places to pass out thousands of Why you
MUST vote YES on Prop 22 fliers. This flier explained
several of the reasons why same-sex marriage
must be prevented. The reasons were:
Traditional marriage is in accordance
with Natural and Divine Law.
The traditional structure of the
family is indispensable for the proper development of
our children.
Sodomy is a sin. Legalized same-sex
marriage institutionalizes this sin.
If the state of California accepts
same-sex marriage, other states will follow
suit. [California is a trendsetter].
Once same-sex marriages
are recognized in one state, other states will be pressured
to recognize them under the full faith and credit clause
of Article IV in the U.S. Constitution. Thanks be to God
and to the energetic action of many Californians, same-sex
marriage was rejected in the March 7th ballot
and traditional marriage continues to be protected in
that state. The Catholic Church has always taught us to
speak out peacefully and legally against evil, and in
this case, we see how vital it was!
