Trinity Sunday is a Catholic celebration of the Trinity, the three Persons of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the “mystery of divine mysteries.” – The Maryknoll Fathers – “so complete that the divine Persons do not exist except in relation to one another.” Said simply, “3 is 1.”
Marriage has been profaned by the growing crusade by homosexuals to redefine marriage as including same-sex unions. The emotion used to sell the parity that same-sex unions may be called marriages has been the emotion of “love.” The new definition is that Marriage is the love uniting of two humans for one another. Frankly, Christianity may have lost the time-honored definition of marriage to now include same-sex unions. Maybe!
Soon, same-sex unions (marriages) will begin to co-opt the word, “family” as a first child is adopted by them, or procreated by a surrogate. In the Church, “family” is also a Trinity; Father, Mother, and Child. Under the natural law, and law of the Church, family is also “3 is 1.” However, I submit to you that a same-sex marriage cannot “ever” become “family” because the family members, Father, Mother, and Child in same-sex unions, “do not exist in relation to one another.”
In the natural order, Father is the seed of life. Mother is the vessel of life. Child is the new life. In same-sex unions, there is NO relation between the three. Trinity (3 is 1) is never met. Family defined for same-sex unions never exceeds “two” thus cannot be a Trinity. In a gay union, the one defined as Father may have the seed of life, but there is no “vessel of life” in the union so no Trinity. In a lesbian union, the one defined as Mother may be the vessel of life, but there is no “seed of Life” in the union so no Trinity. In the same-sex union, Child may be related to one of the partners, but not both, so there is no Trinity.
This is just an exposition about definition, not equity, meaning fairness. Example. A single person is not a married person. That’s definition. Life is inequitable. So there are many cases where traditional marriages do not meet the test of Trinity. However, a Catholic couple living their faith are open to new life, thus complimentary. The same-sex couple is closed to new life, thus a nullity. In sum, one was by Godly design possible, the other impossible. And I leave it at that. I hope it provokes much thought as it did me.
