The good news is that NY became the latest in a series of states rejecting legalized so-called gay marriage.
The bad news is that the DC City Council voted in favor of a measure that would legalize same-sex marriage in the district. This isn’t the end of the story for DC as there are a couple more hurdles that the measure has to jump through before it becomes law, but it will be a tough battle for people who are against this redefinition of marriage as the media in DC has been relentless in its attacks against groups like the Catholic Church who are fighting the measure.
SMS will keep you updated on these state battles over marriage, so check back often for the latest – especially as the DC situation moves ahead. And don’t forget to read the US Bishops’ approved statement on marriage from their fall meeting. It provides a tremendous defense of marriage as well as useful explanations for the Church’s position.

First off, I want to say that you have a good twitter feed. It’s been helpful as I try to keep on the straight path towards Heaven when it comes to politics.
But I wish to say that, unfortunately, the Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/04/AR2009120404166.html) has been trying to influence Wuerl into doing what Levada and Georgetown Univeristy did — use church monies to help with “legally domiciled adults” (or use church monies to help with not just married couples but any number of possible relationship setting, including GLBT and cohabitating couples). This is not good for DC at all.
Would anybody besides me on my blog (http://saacdelacroix.blogspot.com) be willing to comment on this? Thanks.
