"Most people recognize that there are other challenges facing our culture that are at least of equal significance as gay marriage."  If this is all that is at stake - gays marrying, I would agree.  But gay marriage implies and opens up the door to many other situations such as children being adopted, business owners being forced to comply in a gay wedding ceremony (bakers, hall rentals, etc.), and same-sex sexual relationships as being acceptable, which , for a Catholic is problematic.  As far as Catholic teaching and Canon Law, Bishop Paprocki is not wrong in what he is suggesting, but perhaps somewhat imprudent as the writer accurately says funerals are about the grieving family.
