"Catholic bishop: There’s a good argument for legalizing gay ‘marriage’"
lifesitenews.com
"An Australian bishop says he believes there's a valid 'common good' argument for the government to legalize same-sex 'marriage'.
As the country votes in a postal survey on the issue, Maitland-Newcastle Catholic Bishop Bill Wright all but suggested Catholics can vote 'yes' in a September article for Aurora, the diocesan magazine.
'The question about any proposed law is not whether it squares with church teaching or a moral ideal, but whether it is a good practical rule for people living in this society at this time,' the bishop argues in his September 6 article...
The voluntary plebiscite runs from September 12 through November 7.
In a 2015 article, the bishop had said that redefining marriage 'won’t be the end of the world.'...
If the ballots come back with a 'Yes' majority in the current ongoing postal survey, the government will introduce a bill to legalize same-sex 'marriage.' If Australian citizens vote 'No' in the majority, gay 'marriage' activists will likely mount a challenge.
His comments this month preceded those from fellow Australian Bishop Vincent Long Van Nguyen of Parramatta, who seemed to suggest recently that it did not matter how his flock voted in the plebiscite.
'It should not be a matter of a simple answer Yes or No to the postal survey,' Bishop Van Nguyen wrote, rather the vote 'should also be an opportunity for us to listen to what the Spirit is saying through the signs of the time.'"
