State’s bishops back Aug. 3 marriage amendment

Redefining marriage to include same-sex couples would have dangerous consequences, the bishops of Missouri state in a letter urging voters to support a marriage amendment to the state constitution.

The bishops urged all people of good will, regardless of political or religious persuasion or sexual orientation to reflect carefully on the common good of society "and stand with us."

The bishops of who signed the letter are Archbishop Raymond L. Burke of St. Louis, Bishop Raymond J. Boland of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Bishop John J. Leibrecht of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Bishop John R. Gaydos of Jefferson City, Coadjutor Bishop Robert W. Finn of Kansas City-St. Joseph and Auxiliary Bishop Robert J. Hermann of St. Louis.
