New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan says he's worried that the next step in the marriage debate will be another redefinition to allow multiple partners and infidelity.
Writing on his blog Thursday, Dolan also lamented the anti-Catholic venom that surfaced in the gay marriage battle, saying he's worried that "believers will soon be harassed, threatened, and hauled into court" for their convictions.
He also apologized to those in the gay community who may have been offended by the church's stance, saying he's honored that so many gays are at home in the Catholic Church and that his goal from the start was "pro-marriage, never anti-gay."
New York became the sixth and largest state to legalize gay marriage on June 24.

Considering how many of the Patriarchs in the Bible practiced polygamy, you'd think the Church would support a change in marriage law to make it more "Biblical."

Don't talk about something that you know absolutely nothing about. I'm far from a Biblical scholar and even I know that polygamy was acceptable under the old covenant. However, Jesus said that marriage was between one man and one woman. He also said that divorce wasn't valid although it was under the old covenant.
How about making your one on only battle be to cleanse the church of pedophile priests. And while you are at it, find out where the Bible says that you idiots shouldn't be having marital sex with another woman.
