exhaust the topic here. But in short, the Church holds that
marriage necessarily involving a man and a woman for the
natural complementarity of the sexes was a divine creation as
the very first chapter of Genesis asserts, God created man in
His image; in the Divine image He created him; male and female
He created them (Gen. 1:27). And the following chapter notes
that God created woman as a suitable partner for the man.
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his
wife, and the two of them become one body (Gen. 2:20, 24).
So lets apply all of this now to the notion of a marriage
between two persons of the same gender. It should be obvious
by this point that the Church teaches that marriage is between a
man and a woman, not because it randomly invented that
definition in centuries gone by, but because God made marriage
that way. The Catholic Church will not, because it cannot,
change any law which it holds to have been given to us by God
Himself. For example, the Church can never declare that a
parent can validly marry his/her child, because this will always
be contrary to natural law (natural law being simply another
name for a law established by the Creator, not merely by man).
Similarly, the Church cannot redefine marriage in such a way
that it would now include homosexuals living together and
engaging in unnatural sexual activitybecause doing so would
destroy the very concept of what marriage is all about, a concept
which was given to us by God.
Consequently, it is theologically impossible for the Catholic
Church ever to accept that two persons of the same gender are
married in the same way that a man and a woman are. To do
so would completely destroy the Churchs understanding of what
marriage is. But this unfortunately leads to the next issue that
you mentioned: could the government of a nation with laws
permitting gay marriage ever force priests to conduct Catholic
weddings for homosexuals?
Sadly, given the direction in which many first-world
countries are heading, its not terribly difficult to envision this
situation! Politicians who are hostile to Catholic teaching could
perhaps try to argue that by refusing to marry homosexuals, the
Church is engaging in discrimination (ever a fashionable buzzword). Such an allegation would, however, constitute nothing
less than a direct attack on religious freedomsomething that
first-world countries today proudly claim to uphold. Any country
which is really free will allow the Catholic Church to teach what it
sincerely believes to be the truth, regardless of whether that
teaching makes some people uncomfortable or not.
Its impossible to predict the future, of course, but if the civil
authorities would force priests to celebrate same sex wedding
ceremonies, its hard to imagine that the Catholic Church would
willingly acquiesce! Such a refusal would be parallel to the
Churchs refusal to allow priests to reveal what is told them in
the confessional, even if law-enforcement authorities would
demand it. Some aspects of some Catholic teachings may be
negotiable, while others arent and like the confessional seal,
the fundamental meaning of Christian marriage cannot be
negotiated just because some government bureaucrats insist.
