Marriage is important-Reflect before you change it.

Marriage is of fundamental importance for children, mothers and fathers, and society-all of us need to reflect deeply before changing it. Ahead of the referendum on 22nd May, bishops ask the faithful to carefully consider that:

  • Married love is a unique form of love between a man and a woman which has a special benefit for the whole of society.
  • Our understanding of marriage is deeply rooted in all cultures: it is not intended to exclude or disadvantage anyone.
  • To seek to re-define the nature of marriage would undermine it as the fundamental building block of our society.
  • Marriage should be reserved for the unique and complementary relationship between a woman and a man from which the generation and upbringing of children is uniquely possible.

Bishop’s Pastoral Statement: The Meaning of Marriage.
