"New York Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan is concerned that state senators might 're-invent the very definition' of marriage-society's basic institution-as five more lawmakers pledged to support a same-sex 'marriage' bill.
'Not every desire, urge, want, or chic cause is automatically a 'right,'' the archbishop explained in his June 14 blog post titled 'The True Meaning of Marriage.' True freedom, he said, is not 'the license to do whatever we want, but the liberty to do what we ought.'
Later that day, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo presented the 'Marriage Equality Act' to the state legislature after a key Republican senator voiced support for it. Four Democrats who previously voted against same-sex 'marriage' said on June 13 that they would support the bill.
Governor Cuomo's administration is reportedly pursuing a strategy of gradually pressuring lawmakers to give their support.
'We're in a very precarious situation,' New York Catholic Conference director Dennis Poust told CNA on June 15. According to a New York Times tally, the law needs only one more committed vote to ensure its passage."
