COURT OF APPEALS PANEL OVERTURNS CALIFORNIA SAME SEX MARRIAGE BAN............

A three judge panel of the 9th District Court of Appeals in the western United States, announced their decision this morning declaring Proposition 8, passed by California, banning marriage same sex marriage, unconstitutional.  That means the issue of homosexual couples legal right to marry in California, and perhaps the United States, is likely to be appealed up to the United States Supreme Court. It is unclear whether a stay will be placed on the immediate resumption of same sex marriages in California, but the battle is all but certain to continue between proponents of maintaining traditional marriage only, between one man, and one woman, as the natural order of Creation; and those advocating for the marriage equality between same sex couples, as their constitutional and civil rights............Fr.  Troy
