All of these resources have been made available and may be accessed on our diocesan website ( and through the Catholic Voice NC website ( These resources include a four-part video series with each Bishop addressing different elements of the vocation of marriage as it applies to the Marriage Amendment. The fourth and final segment, which is presented by Bishop Burbidge, is now available and addresses the issue of discrimination, associated by some with the Amendment. You are invited to review these resources and join in support FOR the sacred vocation of marriage and vote FOR marriage on Tuesday, May 8, Enmienda del Matrimono El voto es el martes 8 mayo 2012 Durante los últimos cuatro meses, el Obispo Michael F.

Todos estos recursos están disponibles y pueden tener acceso a ellos en nuestra página web ( y a través de la página web de la Voz Católica de CN ( Estos recursos incluyen una serie de videos en cuatro partes con cada Obispo abordando los diferentes elementos de la vocación del matrimonio tal y como lo aplica la Enmienda del Matrimonio.

5 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, May 6, 2012 This coming Tuesday, May 8th, North Carolinians will have the opportunity to adopt the proposed Marriage Amendment to our State Constitution. This amendment defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman and as the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. We, the Bishops of North Carolina, have repeatedly voiced our strong support FOR the Marriage Amendment and we are asking Catholics in both Dioceses to vote FOR the amendment. We are FOR this definition of marriage, because we believe it is a vocation in which God calls couples to faithfully and permanently embrace a fruitful union that is open to the gift of children, a gift that comes from the sexual expression between a man and a woman. The children born of this union have the right to the indispensable place of a father and a mother in their lives. Children grow, are loved, nurtured and formed by those whose unique vocation is to be a father and a mother to their child. Some have insisted that the Amendment will codify discrimination against homosexual persons. As Catholics, we believe in the immeasurable dignity and equal worth of all persons. We believe that our human dignity comes from God, and so we reject hatred or the unjust treatment of any person. The fact that we do not embrace same sex marriage though can never be seen as discriminatory, as we believe that the source of our human dignity and the respect we owe to all people, flows not from the expression of our sexual orientation nor any of our actions, but rather from the dignity given to each of us by God. Therefore, the marriage of one man and one woman, which forms a unique, complementary and fruitful bond, does not negate the respect and equal worth of all people, but is rather a union which strengthens all of our relationships with others. While our State already has a law which prohibits same-sex marriage, as we are well aware by what has taken place in several other states, such laws can be overturned by judicial or legislative action. This is why it is so important for us to vote to protect traditional marriage and pass the amendment to make this definition of marriage part of our State Constitution. The vote this week places this decision in the hands of the people of North Carolina. We ask you to join us in our support FOR the sacred vocation of marriage and what its definition means to us and to the future of our great State. Vote FOR the referendum and Vote FOR marriage on Tuesday, May 8th. Sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge Bishop of Raleigh Most Reverend Peter J. Jugis Bishop of Charlotte

6 Estimados Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo: 6 de mayo del 2012 El próximo martes 8 de mayo, los habitantes de Carolina del Norte tendrán la oportunidad de aprobar la propuesta de Enmienda al Matrimonio a la Constitución estatal. Esta enmienda define el matrimonio como la unión de un hombre y una mujer como la única unión doméstica legal que será válida o reconocida en este Estado. Nosotros, los Obispos de Carolina del Norte, hemos expresado en varias ocasiones nuestro fuerte apoyo EN FAVOR de la Enmienda al Matrimonio y estamos pidiendo a los Católicos de ambas diócesis que voten EN FAVOR de la enmienda. Estamos EN FAVOR del matrimonio, porque creemos que es una vocación en la cual Dios llama a las parejas a abrazar fiel y permanentemente una unión fructífera que esté abierta al regalo de los niños, un regalo que viene de la expresión sexual entre un hombre y una mujer. Los niños nacidos de este enlace tienen el derecho al lugar imprescindible de un padre y de una madre en sus vidas. Los niños crecen, son amados, alimentados y formados por aquéllos cuya vocación única es ser un padre y una madre para su niño. Algunos han insistido en que la enmienda codificará la discriminación contra las personas homosexuales. Como Católicos, creemos en la inmensa dignidad y el igual valor de todas las personas. Nosotros creemos que nuestra dignidad humana viene de Dios, por eso nosotros rechazamos el odio o el trato injusto de cualquier persona. El hecho de que no abrasemos el matrimonio del mismo sexo no se puede considerar como una discriminación, ya que creemos que la fuente de nuestra dignidad humana y el respeto que debemos a todas las personas, no fluye de la expresión de nuestra orientación sexual ni de nuestras acciones, sino de la dignidad dada por Dios a cada uno de nosotros. Por lo tanto, el matrimonio entre un hombre y una mujer, que constituye un vínculo único, complementario y fructífero, no niega el respeto y el valor igual de todas las personas, sino más bien es una unión que refuerza todas nuestras relaciones con los demás. Mientras en nuestro Estado existe una ley que prohíbe el matrimonio del mismo sexo, como bien sabemos por lo que ha ocurrido en otros Estados, esas leyes pueden revocarse por una acción legislativa o judicial. Por esta razón es para nosotros muy importante votar para proteger el matrimonio tradicional y aprobar la Enmienda para hacer la definición del matrimonio parte de nuestra Constitución Estatal. El voto de esta semana pone la decisión en las manos de la población de Carolina del Norte. Les pedimos que se unan en nuestro apoyo EN FAVOR de la sagrada vocación del matrimonio y lo que significa para nosotros y para el futuro de nuestro gran Estado. Vote EN FAVOR del referéndum y vote EN FAVOR del matrimonio el martes 8 de mayo. Sinceramente en Cristo, Reverendísimo Michael F. Burbidge Obispo de Raleigh Reverendísimo Peter J. Jugis Obispo de Charlotte
