MADRID, Spain — Bishops in Spain are calling the country’s Catholic lawmakers to oppose homosexual “marriages,” which the new Socialist government is expected to legalize next year.
“We have an obligation to remind people that something so obvious and natural as matrimony cannot be contracted except by people of different sexes: a woman and a man,” the executive committee of the bishops’ conference said in a statement released July 20.
The Madrid-based group has also spoken out against in vitro fertilization, stem cell research and government plans to ease restrictions on abortions.
