A majority of Catholics in the US House of Representatives voted last Thursday to pass the “Respect for Marriage Act” which will redefine marriage under US law. The Act was signed into law by Catholic US president Joe Biden yesterday.
According to data published by US-based Catholic lobby group CatholicVote, out of the 130 Catholics in the House, 89 voted to redefine marriage, while only 40 Catholics held fast to their beliefs and voted no. (One member, Rep. Kevin Brady, a Catholic Republican from Texas, did not vote.)
