Mexico City, Mexico, Jan 7, 2010 / 12:56 pm
Archbishop Victor Sanchez Espinoza of Puebla joined with Cardinal Norberto Rivera of Mexico City in calling for the protection of the family in response to the approval of both homosexual “marriage” and adoption in the Mexican capital.
In his recent message, Archbishop Sanchez voiced support for Cardinal Rivera, who urged states in Mexico not follow “this perverse example” and to do whatever necessary “to constitutionally defend the family.”
He recalled that the Catechism and the March 28, 2003 document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith teach that persons with homosexual tendencies should be treated with sensitivity and should not suffer unjust discrimination.
“True respect for these persons and for all of society demands that all positive laws be in accord with the nature of the human person and promote his comprehensive development, both on an individual as well as a societal level,” he added.
