It does seem to me that, pace the CDF, it is possible for Catholics to support laws legalizing same-sex unions. That claim will be counterintuitive for many, I expect, and so perhaps it will be helpful to state briefly at the outset the assumptions that inform it. All of them are disputable, of course — everything interesting is. But one short essay doesn’t permit entry into all relevant disputes, so I’ll simply state the assumptions here.
I stopped in at the new Small Animal Hospital on Newhall, just north of North Avenue, to ask a question about one of my cats. I was immediately impressed. Inside and out, this is a state-of-the-art facility designed to give the best medical attention to our furry friends while comfortably accommodating their owners. The building has a large reception area with big windows. The bench seats flip up and hold books and toys for kids waiting for Sparky to get his shots.
