The secretary general and spokesman of the Bishops Conference of Spain, Fr. Juan Antonio Martinez Camino, criticized the government’s proposal to make homosexual unions equal to marriage, emphasizing that “there are many unjust laws that were approved by the majority.”
“There are things that, while they may be legal, will never by just or moral, if they are against human dignity and human institutions such as marriage,” he said of the Socialist government’s proposal that has majority support in Parliament.
Speaking on the Spanish network Telecinco, Martinez Camino lamented that there is a desire to make “the covenant of love open to life and to children between a man and a woman” equivalent to same-sex unions, which “the Socialist Party (PSOE) did not campaign for during the elections.” “In any case, it is not embraced by the Church, or by reason or justice, and it should be corrected if the common good is to be served,” he said.
