Jesus, with great love, taught unambiguously that from the beginning marriage is the lifelong union of one man and one woman. The Church, seeking to witness to Christ in every age, welcomes all and treats every person with equal dignity. We agree with those who seek change in the definition of marriage in one thing:\u00a0that every person has equal dignity.\u00a0We disagree about the nature of marriage.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osv.com\/OSVNewsweekly\/Story\/TabId\/2672\/ArtMID\/13567\/ArticleID\/17753\/OSV-Exclusive-Archbishop-Kurtz-on-same-sex-marriage-ruling-and-where-the-Church-goes-from-here.aspx\">read more<\/a> . . .<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Archbishop Kurtz on same-sex marriage ruling, and where the Church goes from here Archbishop Joseph E.
