Resources & Links regarding Same-Sex Marriage
On June 26, the United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. Ohio, like several states, had an voter-approved constitutional amendment which was overturned by this ruling. As Catholics, we believe that marriage is between a man and woman. We've assembled several links regarding this decision and the Catholic Church's response. While this is certainly not an exhaustive list, it's a start and we hope that it's a help.
