Letter to the editor
The recent push to enact marriage protection laws has me trying to remember where I had left my long-ago misplaced Baltimore Catechism. I think I recall, from my early instruction in my Roman Catholic faith, that marriage was one of the sacraments instituted by God himself. I just don't remember that its sanctity would one day have to be further established by the Pennsylvania State Legislature. The idea now has me concerned about protecting all seven of the sacraments.
By the way, does anyone know from whom we will be protecting holy matrimony? I can understand protecting BINGO—if we don't get a little preemptive about it, the next thing you know the Lutherans will be into our game.
