| TFP Decries Massachusetts
Court's Decision as "Morally Irresponsible"
The American Society
for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP)
has issued the following statement about the November 18
decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court finding
no constitutional impediments for same-sex “marriage”
in the Commonwealth:
“The American
Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property
(TFP) registers its complete disapproval and repudiation
of the November 18 Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
decision finding no constitutional impediments to same-sex
“marriage” as a morally irresponsible ruling
that ignores a wealth of sociological evidence proving how
the homosexual relationship in no way provides the stability
and support necessary to constitute a family.
“The 4-3 decision represents
a redefinition of marriage which seeks to draw non-existent
analogies between heterosexual couples and same-sex relationships.
It rewards relationships that are of their nature sterile
and victimizes children who have the right to be raised
in a strong moral environment.
“In mandating
the Massachusetts Legislature to enforce its decision, the
Court clearly engages in judicial activism and renounces
its duty imposed by natural law to uphold morality in favor
of the common good.
“Established in 1692,
the Court prides itself as being the oldest appellate court
in continuous existence in the Western Hemisphere. With
this decision, it avowedly departs from the history of its
own marriage law and forsakes its tradition. The ruling
represents a major blow to America's Christian roots, the
institution of the family and the very foundations of morality
in society.
“With this decision,
the die is cast. It now obliges pro-family forces and especially
American Catholics to take the initiative, and mobilize
in defense of the family.”
The American TFP invites
its members, friends and supporters to offer prayers and
acts of reparation to God for the offense caused by this
tragic decision. Click
