The state's top Catholic Friday equated efforts to legalize gay marriage to "Orwellian social engineering."
Archibishop Timothy Dolan on his blog wrote that "history, natural law, the Bible...the religions of the world, human experience, and just plain gumption tells us" marriage is between a man and a woman. "The definition of marriage is hardwired into our human reason," Dolan wrote.
"To tamper with that definition, or to engage in some Orwellian social engineering about the nature and purpose of marriage, is perilous to all of us."
He asks if the definition is changed to include gays, "could it not in the future be morphed again to include multiple spouses or even family members?"
Government, he wrote, would be better off fixing the school systems than redefining marriage.
"If big, intrusive government can re-define the most basic, accepted, revealed truth that marriage simply means one man+one woman+(hopefully) children, in a loving family, then I'm afraid, Orwell's works will no longer be on the fiction shelf."
