Same-Sex Marriage: Haitian Bishops Affirm the Church’s Traditional Position

In a recently released statement, Haitian Catholic bishops have firmly reiterated the traditional position of the Church regarding marriage as a legitimate union between a man and a woman.

This unequivocal assertion comes in response to the publication of a note by the Vatican, signed by the Supreme Pontiff, authorizing the blessing of same-sex unions. However, the Haitian bishops wanted to clarify their stance, emphasizing that this authorization does not confer the status of marriage within the Church upon these unions.

The statement from the Haitian Catholic bishops recalls the teachings and traditional doctrine of the Church on marriage. They insist that the institution of marriage is based on the sacred covenant between a man and a woman.

According to the bishops, this perspective is deeply rooted in the religious and moral principles that have guided the Catholic faith for centuries.
