U.K. Bishops Regret ‘Gay Marriage’ Approval 

Queen Elizabeth II approves Parliament’s redefinition of marriage, which the Catholic Bishops' Concerence of England and Wales calls ‘a profound social change.’

Queen Elizabeth II has approved the British Parliament’s “gay marriage” bill, in what the Catholic bishops of England and Wales called a “profound social change” that neglects the centrality of children and puts religious freedom at risk.

“Marriage has, over the centuries, been publicly recognized as a stable institution which establishes a legal framework for the committed relationship between a man and a woman and for the upbringing and care of their children,” read a July 17 statement from the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. “It has, for this reason, rightly been recognized as unique and worthy of legal protection.”
