The Church does not violate the secular state as opposed to same-sex unions, the bishops of Mexico clarified, but rather, offers his own contribution to a secular state and democratic. Clarification was made Tuesday at a press conference and an official statement issued by the Mexican Episcopal Conference (CEM), whose president is Bishop Carlos Aguiar Retes, Archbishop of Tlalnepantla.
A month ago, the Federal District approved the so-called "marriage" between homosexuals and adoption of children by same sex, as representatives of the Catholic Church described as contrary to morality and rights children. Promoters of this measure have accused the Catholic Church of interfering in the life of political institutions and of violating the secular state.
In this context, says the statement released by the Episcopal Conference, "The Magisterium of the Church intends to offer its own contribution to the formation of conscience, not only believers but of those who seek the truth and want to hear arguments that come from the faith and of reason itself."
"Faith-emphasizes the statement of the Mexican bishops, is not an obstacle to freedom and science or a set of biases that vitiate the objective understanding of reality. Faced with the attitude that tends to replace the truth by consensus fragile and easily manipulated, the Christian faith makes a contribution to the ethical and philosophical truth and moral perspectives proposed within which human reason can investigate and find solutions viable. "
Mexican bishops are convinced" that exists in every human being a natural moral law, and it also welcomes those who do not identify with the faith and Christian thought. So the Church does not impose its moral laws, as we read in the central part of the press release.
In the press conference held later to read the statement, Bishop Aguiar Retes, who was accompanied by the archbishops of Morelia , Archbishop Alberto Suarez Inda, and Leon, Bishop Jose Guadalupe Martin Rabago, said: "The Catholic Church does not violate secular state nor is it intended, nor demonizes homosexuality nor is homophobic. The church wants a secular state to be the architect to ensure the conditions of freedom for all regardless of individual characteristics. "
" This is not a secular state that is in conflict with the religious conditions or institutions such as churches, but the true secular state is one that promotes respect of all sectors even formed the basis of a faith where and fraternize in solidarity for the good of society, "said Bishop Aguiar Retes.
" Church said President of the CEM-does not violate secular state but it is a democratic state that has a solidity and secularism as expressed by Benedict XVI.
For his part, Archbishop of León, Jose Guadalupe Martin Rabago defended the Church's right to express themselves and their own convictions and in this regard noted that by the Church there is a demonization position on homosexuals or homophobia.
"The position of the Church in the Catechism says about homosexuals that they have rights that are inherent in any human person are not excluded or excommunicated from the Church," he said Monsignor Martin Rabago.
