The Catholic Church Attempts Bringing Their Own Back On the Same Sex Marriage Issue

Abstract The following paper will argue for the Catholic Church against those Catholics within the institution what agree with same sex marriage. In fact, a little more than 50 percent of Catholics according to a recent survey by Pew Research accept and support homosexuality and same sex marriage (Lipka, 2014).

Arguments are based on the magisterium and our religious liberties.
