Malone of Buffalo, New York, and the chairman of the USCCB’s Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage released a statement about the Supreme Court’s action.

Also, the Virginia Bishops together responded with their own statement. Virginia’s appeal was one of the many that the Court denied.
UPDATE: Archbishop Cordileone also released a statement on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decision on October 7. He characterized the decision as “astonishingly dismissive” of the rights of children and the democratic process.

Thank you for these statements and this website. The news of the day is sad and dark: we need our Bishops to help us guide God’s people into the light. May the Lord have mercy on our beloved Country and have mercy on us. From West Virginia, formerly Almost Heaven.
