Priests meeting to focus on marriage
Font Size:

CLEVELAND (AP) - An unprecedented gathering of Ohio Roman Catholic priests this week will focus on the institution of marriage, which the church believes is under attack.

A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati says the meeting
today and tomorrow in Columbus will address increases in divorce
and people living out of wedlock, as well as the growth of same-sex
unions.

The state's bishops and nearly 700 priests are expected to attend. Church officials believe it will be Ohio's first-ever statewide gathering of priests.

Clergy members will listen to speakers and hold discussions, the results of which will be sent to the U.S. Catholic Conference of
Bishops. It's working on a pastoral letter on marriage and family life.
