Rally Declaration

We declare that the redefinition of the sacred term marriage would mean a devaluation of traditional marriage as the basis of the family and as an essential institution for the stability and equilibrium of society.

Marriage, understood as the lasting union of a man and woman to the exclusion of others, pre-exists the State. Because it pre-exists the State and because it is fundamental for society, the institution of marriage cannot be modified, whether by the Charter of Rights, the State or a court of law.

"Any two persons" cannot be considered as marriage. The proposed legislation to redefine marriage represents an assault on common sense, an assault on the values of societies, and an assault on the liberties of men and women of good will.

I pray that our Member of Parliament will have the courage to vote against the proposed legislation and act in conformity with the law that is inscribed within human nature and which is not affected by every wind that blows.
