Issued through the Michigan Catholic Conference, the public policy voice of the Church in this state, the bishops say the "…decision from the U.S. Supreme Court to redefine marriage represents a profound legal turning point in the contemporary and cultural understanding of spouses and family… (it) will not change the truth of the Church's teaching on marriage."
