I am very happy that he [Pope Fransis] did clarify this [marriage defenition], because the other situations can be partnership, can be relations, but certainly not marriage.

Marriage in the biblical sense is very clearly - from the many, many Christians who wrote to me on this subject, in their opinion - can only be between a man and a woman.
I think it's very important that we protect marriage as an institution between a man and a woman. I proposed a constitutional amendment. The reason I did so was because I was worried that activist judges are actually defining the definition of marriage. And the surest way to protect marriage between a man and woman is to amend the Constitution.
There was a very strong bipartisan coalition in Congress under President Bill Clinton that passed the Defense of Marriage Act. And you've had a majority of the states in this country that have strongly stated that marriage ought to be remain the union between one man and one woman.

I very much feel that marriage is a sacrament and that sacrament should extend and can extend to that legal entity of a union between what traditionally in our Western values has been defined as between a man and a woman.
The new and most powerful union of all will be a union of one one man, one woman, one worker with special skills, an inquiring mind, and an independent attitude, his creativity intact, his love of life blooming. The union of one will be peopled by one man or one woman who is alive. Such a person is always sought by the intelligent manager.
Biblically defined marriage is a man and a woman for life, and so anything different than that is not God's ideal whether it be polygamy, whether it be divorce, whether it be a marriage between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. The ideal would be a man and a woman under a covenant of God's blessing.
Let me be clear. I support the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.
I unequivocally repeat: marriage in accordance with the Polish Constitution is a union between a man and a woman.
I made very clear at the time that the love of same sex couples is every bit as valuable as that of opposite sex couples but nevertheless my view actually is that marriage in the biblical sense is very clearly from the many many Christians who wrote to me on the subject in their opinion can only be between a man and a woman.
Limiting the designation of marriage to a union 'between a man and a woman' is unconstitutional and must be stricken from the statute.
