Traditional marriage between one man and one woman is under attack as it never has been before in the United States.  With several states already implementing legislation to allow homosexuals to marry or enter “civil unions,” the Sacrament of Marriage as defined by the Catholic Church is under increasing attack.  How are we as Catholics to respond to this relentless assault on our beliefs? 

Catholics searching for reliable information on the Church’s teachings about marriage can now visit a new website devoted exclusively to that issue.  The www.marriageuniqueforareason.org website was initiated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage.  A variety of marriage-related questions are addressed along with a blog and videos.  If you are unsure about where the Catholic Church stands on any aspect of marriage as a union between one man and one woman, you’ll be able to find extensive, reliable information direct from the Catechism.  Whether you are a recent convert to Catholicism or were born and raised in the Church, check out the new website to sharpen your knowledge on this vitally important topic.
