Featured Website - Oscar Romero Faith and Solidarity Network in the Americas

Published: October 08, 2009

The Oscar Romero Faith and Solidarity Network in the Americas (SICSAL-USA) is the U.S. representative of SICSAL (Servicio Internacional Cristiano en Solidaridad con los Pueblos de America Latina).

SICSAL was founded in 1980 by Christians in solidarity with the peoples of Central America and inspired by the prophetic witness of the martyred Salvadoran archbishop, Oscar Romero.

It describes its mission as "to promote the work of faith-based solidarity in a time of corporate globalization and increasing militarization throughout the Americas".

"Our goal is to give voice to the just aspirations and non-violent struggles of people across borders for justice, peace, and the integrity of creation: "Another World is Possible!" "

    It is understandable that some same-sex couples feel inclined towards marriage. They argue that their love and aspirations are essentially no different to anyone else's. But the institution of marriage is not and has never been solely about creating an avenue for people to express their feelings or to fulfill personal needs. If it were simply about emotions and needs, then why would we need laws governing who can and cannot marry? - Paul Russell @ The Southern Cross
