Catholic, Episcopal priests debate gay marriage

By Ryan Fitzmaurice on April 21, 2013 11:25 am / 2 comments

Two pastors debated the merits of gay marriage Friday.

The debate, held in the Moore Hall Kiva between the Rev. Denis Heames of St. Mary’s University Parish Catholic church, 1405 S. Washington St., and the Rev. Wayne Nicholson of St. John’s Episcopal Church, 206 W. Maple St., emphasized the diverse opinions held on the subject in the Mount Pleasant community and also within a Christian context.

Heames, who represented the Catholic Church in the debate, said the church’s position, as well as his, is that gay marriage should not be accepted by society because he believes it redefines marriage in a way unaligned with God’s teachings.

He discussed his stay in California during his early adulthood, where he met and knew homosexual people and couples.

... is it true there are no "homosexual people and couples" in Central Michigan? Do you really have to travel to California to meet them?
