From David A. Hogg re same-sex "marriage".There are three aspects of marriage which I have not yet seen addressed: 1. Legal: Any/all legal systems depend on language--its precise meaning, use, and interpretation. Any juridical Pertaining to the administration of justice or to the office of a judge. A juridical act is one that conforms to the laws and the rules of court. A juridical day is one on which the courts are in session. JURIDICAL. system therefore depends on the stability of language--stability in the meaning of words. If such stability does not exist, then juridical systems would be in complete disarray: there could be no meaningful discourse, let alone learned discourse--for the meaning of words and terms could be changed on a whim to suit the purpose of the user. So for the Ontario Court of Appeal The Court of Appeal for Ontario (frequently referred to as Ontario Court of Appeal) is headquartered in downtown Toronto, in historic Osgoode Hall. The Court is composed of 22 judges who hear over 1 500 appeals each year, on issues of private law, constitutional to attempt to re-define marriage is an act of self-destruction as it would be with any other words and terms whose meaning has long since been fixed. 2. Sociological: Which authority (a) has the definitive right to state that marriage "is evolving?" and (b) where is the evidence to support such a claim? The idea of "marriage evolving" is ephemeral Temporary. Fleeting. Transitory. with no basis in fact. Even relationships are not "evolving." Homosexual and "living together" relationships have been well documented over the centuries. Who is trying to deceive TO DECEIVE. To induce another either by words or actions, to take that for true which is not so. Wolff, Inst. Nat. Sec. 356. whom? 3. Constitutional rights: The proposed Chretien law to recognize homosexual unions but to exempt their recognition by religious bodies is surreal and impractical. If a homosexual union is a "constitutional right," then there can be no exceptions and exemptions. Any law with such a bizarre basis would fail at the first challenge--particularly in current Canadian jurisprudence jurisprudence (j  r'ĭspr d`əns), study of the nature and the origin and development of law. . The idea is preposterous, but that seems to be the level at which Chretien operates. The National Post, May 29, A5, states: Chretien seems to think he can be "for abortion" and still be a Catholic. A summary consultation with the Roman Catholic Code of Canon Law canon law, in the Roman Catholic Church, the body of law based on the legislation of the councils (both ecumenical and local) and the popes, as well as the bishops (for diocesan matters). should quickly separate him from such an idea, unless he believes he is above that Code of Law also.
