Santiago, Chile, Aug 4, 2010 / 11:51 am
This week, Auxiliary Bishop Fernando Chomali of Santiago spoke up in defense of marriage and remarked that all laws must be founded in reason, according to the truth about man.
The bishop made his statements after Chilean Senator Fulvio Rossi announced his plans to introduce legislation that would permit same-sex “marriage.”
Bishop Chomali underscored that public policies ought to ensure the good of the country and must conform to the truth about man. For this reason, he continued, politicians must reflect on the meaning of humanity and on man’s deepest longings.
“Public policies must stem from reason and not feelings, emotions or the opinions of the day. They must not be subjected to the latest fad or what is taking place in other countries,” he added.
