“This is first of all a
rational issue before it’s a faith issue. That is, it’s nature that tells us what marriage
is, that in marriage, men and women aren’t interchangeable. We didn’t invent marriage.
The church didn’t invent marriage. The state didn’t invent marriage.
Nature gives us marriage. The Chinese are not Americans, and they’re not
Catholic. They know what marriage is. Where did that come from?” – Cardinal Francis George, speaking to the Chicago Sun-Times.
