Bishop Juan Jose Asenjo of Cordoba, Spain, warned this week that society “will end up sooner or later paying for the decision to make same-sex unions equal to marriage.”
The legalization of homosexual “marriage” “will have negative consequences for the family and for children adopted by homosexual couples,” the bishop said during a press conference at the University of Almeria, where he is participating in summer courses.
Bishop Ansejo expressed regret over the decision by the country’s political leaders “to consider homosexual unions as ‘marriage’ and to grant approval to these unions.”
He noted as well the existence of a “secularist offensive in Spain that shows little respect for the rights of the faithful and for religious freedom.”
