taratemimaIf you are Catholic and support marriage equality, or know Catholic people who support marriage equality, here's a petition you and they can sign.
I stopped considering myself Catholic or even Christian a long time ago. I have no idea about my relatives and am too shy/scared to ask. However, people braver than I might find this of some use.
Last week, opponents of equality began collecting signatures to place on the 2008 ballot a mean-spirited constitutional amendment that would revoke equal marriage rights and provide no protections for same-sex couples and their families.
The hierarchy of the Catholic Church is strongly backing this new amendment. In fact, according to the director of Catholic Citizenship, "the bishops have asked every priest to name someone to help" with the petition effort and have named this Sunday "Protect Marriage Sunday."
The Religious Coalition for the Freedom to Marry, one of our coalition partners, is now providing a way for Catholics who favor equal marriage rights to register their respectful disagreement with the church hierarchy on this issue.
If you are Catholic, please sign the Roman Catholic Statement in Support of Marriage Equality. The stakes are very high. It is more important now than ever before that people of faith who support equality make their voices heard.
We urge all Catholic supporters of equality to raise your voice now and publicly announce your support for equal marriage rights. Visit http://rcfm.org/petition/start.php?id=1 to read the Statement and add your name.
