Supreme Court Decision on Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8
June 26, 2013
My dear People of God:
I am making an official statement on the tragic decision of the U.S. Supreme Court on June 26,
2013 striking down part of the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] and refusing to rule on the merits of a
challenge to California’s Proposition 8. As this decision on marriage deals with a fundamental and
constant Biblical and traditional teaching of our Catholic Church, it is most important that our people be made aware of
the consequences of the terrible decision of our US Supreme Court. First, I state that this Court has usurped an
authority that has not been given to it by the natural law, nor of course by the Divine law that goes back to the first Book
of the Bible. As the U.S.
