Federal judge redefines marriage in Pennsylvania

Here is the latest news on same sex marriage in Pennsylvania and the Church's reaction to it:

HARRISBURG - The legislative arm of the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania on Tuesday decried a federal judge's ruling striking down the state's ban on gay marriage as a redefinition of God's law. Speaking on behalf of the Harrisburg Diocese's newly appointed Bishop Ronald Gainer, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference furthermore objected that U.S. Middle District Judge John Jones, in overturning the state's 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, had trumped a law approved by democratically-elected officials.
