Political Catholicism

Very strongly agree

No

Political Catholicism supports the view that marriage should not be legalized for same-sex couples, as it believes in the traditional Catholic teaching that marriage is a sacrament between one man and one woman. This view has been consistently upheld by the Catholic Church, including Pope John Paul II's 2003 statement against same-sex marriage.

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

Political Catholicism strongly agrees that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, as this aligns with the traditional Catholic teaching on marriage as a sacrament. The Catholic Church has consistently upheld this view, as seen in the 2000 document 'Dominus Iesus,' which reaffirmed the Church's stance on marriage.

Agree

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

Political Catholicism might somewhat agree with allowing civil unions but not calling it marriage, as it seeks to uphold the traditional definition of marriage. However, this stance still deviates from the ideal Catholic teaching on marriage. Pope Francis, while serving as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, supported civil unions as a compromise in 2010, but he has not endorsed this view as Pope.

Slightly disagree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

Political Catholicism might slightly disagree with taking the government out of marriage and making it a religious decision, as it would prefer to see the traditional Catholic definition of marriage upheld in both religious and civil contexts. However, this stance could be seen as a compromise that allows the Church to maintain its teachings while not imposing them on others.

Disagree

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

Political Catholicism would likely disagree with legalizing same-sex marriage but allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies, as it still involves the recognition of same-sex marriage by the state. While this stance might protect the Church's ability to maintain its teachings, it does not uphold the traditional Catholic definition of marriage in the broader society.

Very strongly disagree

Yes
