Pope Tells Bishops to Make Known Full Teaching of Church on Defense of Marriage

In feeble attempts to defend marriage several bishops and bishops conferences throughout the world have failed to present the full teaching of the Catholic Church. Some have gone so far as to back unacceptable compromises when confronted with homosexual 'marriage' such as same-sex civil unions or some such scheme to give societal benefit to homosexual couples. In that light, Pope John Paul's comments to the bishops of New Zealand today are of particular significance.

"I encourage you to continue to ensure that your statements clearly convey the whole of the Church's magisterial teaching."
Now, if all bishops and priests would listen and do this. One can only imagine!
