January 3, 2007 - Statement of the Four Roman Catholic Bishops of Massachusetts On the Vote of the Constitutional Convention To Advance the Marriage Amendment
January 3, 2007 - Today the constitutional rights of the citizens of the Commonwealth have been upheld. The democratic process and the right of the people to have their voices heard were affirmed. We applaud the members of the legislature for fulfilling their responsibilities as representatives of the people who elected them and for living up to their oath of office to support the Constitution. We thank the sixty-two legislators that voted to move the marriage amendment forward for a vote of the people in 2008.
