NEW ORLEANS (LA)
Advocate

The man appointed by U.S. Catholic bishops to fight the church’s battle against marriage equality called Wednesday for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
Speaking in New Orleans at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ summer meeting, San Francisco’s Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone rejected calls from some priests to move on from the issue and instead seemed to double down.
