Bill Donohue, self-appointed lay defender of his idea of the Catholic faith, decrees that marriage is "not about love" and "not about making people happy," but\u00a0wholly\u00a0about "having a family" — by which I assume in context he means spawning children — and that this is known by everyone "in their right mind."<\/p>\n

That's not quite what the official catechism of the Catholic Church (http:\/\/goo.gl\/dA6In<\/a>) says (indeed, it mentions "love" quite a few times in discussion of the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony), but even if it were, I do suspect that there are more than a few people out there, including Catholics, who think that there's much, much more to marriage (or even "having a family") than just creating offspring.<\/p>\n
