Questions and Answers about Marriage and Same-Sex Union

The two names delve into the contemporary debate of self alike(prenominal) perk up union. The first one presents the conservative orthodox reckon of the Catholic faith on same sex union while the second base article presents an unorthodox get wind which is more liberal and accepting. Both article advocate a stand on the same issue and aims to parcel out the good unseasoneds of their stand. The two articles tackle the issue of same sex union by giving their own definition of marriage.The orthodox view argues that marriage, as instituted by God, is a faithful, exclusive, life-timelong union of a existence and a woman joined in an intimate community of life and love and that same sex union is an altogether different social function from marriage since it does not fit the definition.
