They were obviously correct according to the morons in the RCC at the time. We all know how factually and ethically correct the RCC has been, though.
Good on Maine

I think so, too. I'm not sure about other parts but around here, if something doesn't quite go through, people keep pushing it until everyone says yes just so they don't have to hear about it any more. lol
There’s something exceptionally disturbing about the fact that a majority of citizens in the State of Maine (as well as those other thirty States that have done so) would deliberately and intentionally choose to strip other citizens of their rights. I am thankful that Canadian rights and freedoms are not subject to the daily mood-change of the electorate. Minority rights should never be subject to a process so simple as a popular-vote referendum.
Yeah, the majority rule worked so well for American society during the years of slavery, so long as you weren't the slave... Who cares about the minorities anyway, they're minor, and we're major. Phuck em!
Retard, and not the pejorative use of the word either...

Okay then, what about heterosexual couples who are infertile? By your reasoning, that makes those marriages unacceptable, as well, since you are suggesting that procreating is the reason for marriage.
If you want to procreate, have unprotected sex with partner of opposite gender. Where does marriage come in?
Been there, done that. Does that mean I am supposed to stop having fun with my gf? The answer doesn't matter because I won't.
Some people just won't have kids but like the fun. Some others can't have kids but can have fun. Gay marriage has NO effect on anyone else's marriages. It only miffs a few prudes and busybodies.
As long as the government cares about my marital status, it has the right to define marriage. I don't think the government should be concerned about my living arrangement and if they didn't stick their collective noses in peoples business this wouldn't be an issue.
On matters of faith and morals.. the Magisterium.. when the Pontiff, the Curia, the college of Bishops has achieved consensus.. is quite infallible. :smile:
And who says so? THEY do. I see no reason to take that seriously.
And BTW, the line is "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition."

According to them, yes. Not according to everyone. Who says they are more right than anyone else? They do. So what? Just because someone keeps saying they are morally right doesn't make it so concerning everyone else.
As Dexter said.
Sure it is infallible, and that is the scary part of Catholic religion. In theory, the Pope could repeal the law of gravity and invoke the doctrine of infallibility. Then anybody who disagrees with the Pope, anybody who says that law of gravity is still around, is not a good Catholic, by definition.
While one might think it great and democratic to be able to reverse past administration choices it does leave many issues behind. It also causes many to doubt whether a law will actually be effective past the 2 to 4 years a party will retain power. This effectively makes the democracy much weaker.
It will eventually also impact much more as the system grinds to a halt from back and forth lobbying and law making and breaking.
If a people is to succeed it must decide what is best and "only" revoke a bad law, not in the best interest of political gain, but in the best interest of all. Once the laws are made, you must move forward to ensure equality for all.

Maine other question was marijuana which won so you get the justice of the peace high on weed and they will marry the gays
Interesting that the areas that voted against the change (ie, voted to allow marrying gays) were, not surprisingly, Bangor, Portland, parts of the southern coast, and the Bethel area.
