An American monsignor has proposed that the Catholic Church should drop using the word marriage and replace it with “holy matrimony”.
“It is a simple fact that word ‘marriage’ as we have traditionally known it is being redefined in our times,” said Monsignor Charles Pope of Washington archdiocese.
“To many in the secular world the word no longer means what it once did and when the Church uses the word marriage we clearly do not mean what the increasing number of states mean.”
