| RI Bishop on Gay Marriage: We've Entered 'Post-Christian Era' |
| 2013-05-09 |
| [CNSNEWS] Bishop Thomas Tobin, head of the Catholic diocese of Providence, said the "gay marriage" bill signed into law in Rhode Island by its governor, Lincoln Chafee, constituted a "new challenge of the post-Christian era into which, clearly, we have now entered." Chafee, a liberal Independent who used to belong to the Republican Party, signed the bill making "gay marriage" legal in the Ocean State on Thursday, May. 2. That same day, Bishop Tobin, who represents 680,000 Catholics in 143 parishes, issued a pastoral letter to Catholics on the approval of "same-sex marriage." "In particular, I wish to invite members of the Catholic Church in Rhode Island to a moment of prayer and reflection as we respond to this new challenge of the post-Christian era into which, clearly, we have now entered," said Bp. Tobin. |
