We, however, must insist that the solutions to difficult situations cannot involve the violation of the moral order. We know the difficult situations that face many married couples, and we deeply sympathize with them. But dissolving the marriage bond as a form of relief from marital difficulties as a license to remarry goes against the very nature of the marriage covenant and will only undermine the very institution of marriage. The legalization of absolute divorce will violate the rights of other married couples to contract an indissoluble marriage and will, in practice, add difficulties to the obligation of marital fidelity. The ones most severely affected by the irreversible breakdown of a family, as brought about by divorce and remarriage, will be the children.
Divorce violates the rights of children to a stable family.
For this reason, we likewise express our strong disapproval of practices that operate against the stability of the family, such as the querida practice in our country. As pastors of the Church we also view with the greatest concern the situation of homosexuality. We recognize that there are people with homosexual tendencies. To have such tendencies is not a sin but to engage in homosexual acts is morally wrong. However, we are also gravely concerned about legislative moves to legalize same-sex unions, i.e., between men, or between women .
