| On Friday, we showed you how the National Evangelical Association of Belize went to the Court to file their written notice of Appeal to the Section 53 Judgment. Well, the Catholic Church has confirmed that it did the same, and tonight they're applauding Government for following through on their promise to make sure that the Court of Appeal will hear this case.
The Statement from the Catholic Diocese says, quote, "The Roman Catholic Bishops express their appreciation to Government for appealing the decision, even if on a limited basis, to revisit the national gender policy and to support the position that marriage should be between man and woman only. The Bishops also express their gratitude to the Honorable Opposition Representatives who supported the Church's cause for appeal and who provided commitments to vote for Constitutional Amendments with a view to safeguard our children against the advance of an agenda that is not consonant with our collective public morality and our religious teaching." End Quote.
