Canada on Verge of Legalizing Same-Sex 'Marriage'

Final Approval of Passed Legislation Said to Be Only a Formality

(AgapePress) - Canada's pro-family community is vowing to continue the fight for traditional marriage in the wake of a Parliamentary vote on Tuesday night which approved homosexual "marriage."

The fight against the legalization of homosexual marriage has raged on for two years in Canada. But that came to an end last night when, by a vote of 158-133, the Canadian House of Commons approved same-sex marriage. The vote was three more than was needed to gain a majority vote. All that remains now is for the Canadian Senate to review the legislation, but that is largely considered a formality. Final approval of Bill C-38 would make Canada the third nation in the world to embrace same-sex marriage, joining Belgium and the Netherlands.

Prime Minister Paul Martin, a Roman Catholic, has declared that despite anyone's personal beliefs, all Canadians should be granted the same right to marriage. Conservatives had accused the prime minister of making a deal with pro-homosexual members of Parliament. The Globe & Mail newspaper reports that immediately following the vote, Martin "dashed out the door, wishing all a good summer." (more)

Who is this Paul Martin who claims to be a "Roman Catholic"? I am sorry, Paul, but you can't be Catholic and support gay marriage. Either you live by the ten commandments and the teachings of the Church or you don't. You're free to believe as you wish, but don't call yourself a "Roman Catholic" and condone a sinful life style, for you are neither a Roman Catholic nor a Christian if you support same-sex marriages.

According to information I obtained on the Wikipedia, same-sex marriage has proven to be a defining issue of Martin's mandate. Martin opposed same-sex marriage in the past but has changed his view over time. In the midst of various court rulings in 2003 and 2004 that allowed for the legalization of same-sex marriages in seven provinces and one territory, his government proposed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage across Canada. Many critics note that there were "more serious problems" with Canada's justice system to deal with and that Martin was only using the same-sex marriage to hide the sponsorship scandal and attack the Conservative Party. This man definitely needs our prayers. He sounds like some of our U.S. politicians.
