Explanation of Marriage

The church has responded to the redefinition of marriage. Bishop Malloy of the Rockford Diocese, IL has asked all priests of his diocese to read his response at all masses this weekend. Fr Barr goes into more detail as to why the Church is so set on the teachings of Jesus the Christ.
