While the (European Union Court) ruling still leaves it up to signatory countries to decide what form marriage should take in their legal systems, the Dublin-based Iona Institute said the Court’s decision “makes it harder for campaigners to argue that same-sex “marriage” is a ‘fundamental right’, let alone 'the civil rights issue of this generation'” – a phrase used by Ireland’s former foreign minister, Eamon Gilmore. http://www.zenit.org/en/articles/eu...marriage-can-be-imposed-on-member-states

Surprised by this, Deacon Paul?

Yes, I AM surprised by this. The American courts are more liberal than the European Court. The US Courts, in step with the Obama administration and the mainstream media, ARE insisting that same sex marriage is a human right.

An idealist would think this would slow down the avalanche of court rulings in the US. At least we can hope and pray. I thought this new was really astoundingly good news.

I am not surprised, the Europeans in general are Christians and many do support Christian values compared to the general American public.
