The socialists are at it again, pushing their Marxist ideology which abhors Marriage, by seeking to introduce "civil unions" as they have done in the UK in an attempt to replace Marriage.
This issue is continuously aired without the primary difficulty being explained to the public.
This flows from the fact that a Marriage must, by definition and law, be a sexual union and this is a presumption.
The laws of Marriage are governed by the laws of Annulment, amongst which are that a Marriage is void-able if it was not consummated. This means that there was no attempt at procreation by sexual intercourse between the couple.
For two people to be allowed to avail of some special rights of a "civil union", which are not to be allowed to other legitimate pairings of any other two adults, it will be required for them to show that their union is sexual. Such proof of them having "sexual intercourse" is both legally and physically impossible to produce and so is impertinent, as well as being distasteful. Of course, people of the same sex can never have sexual intercourse.
Proof that a Marriage is invalid where there was NO sexual union can be achieved in law satisfactorily and tastefully - otherwise the Marriage is valid
Proof for the sort of "civil union" promoted by Brendan Howlin will have to be that there IS sexual union which is impossible and distasteful as well as being not fair on any public official or court of law to have to adjudicate on.
As it is never possible to prove - to the satisfaction of the burden of proof required by a competent court of law - that two people are having sexual intercourse - and are continuing to and will continue to - it would be improper in law to prescribe any special rights for them.

"The danger now lies in the fact that Ms O'Beirne, who is known to have a very short fuse, and will go to any legnths to protect her book, may present as a danger to all of us who have been instrumental in pulling the book down.
We know from her considerable expertise in petty crime, that she's not above going after any one who opposes her.
Even those who recognising her frailty of mind, and still tried to help her, she has viciously attacked.
Fr O'Connell, the founder of Sherrard House, where she lived freely to pursue her life of crime, became the subject of horrific allegations from Kathy.
This man was crippled with rheumatism, and could hardly dress himself without excrutiating pain, suffered for years trying to clear his name. He died a lonely, but forgiving man, despite the horror she caused him.
When asked about this on Ireland AM, she totally refuted any such allegations.
Many of us who have featured in the book, will now have to take safeguards to mind our children and families, as the Gardaí in Clondalkin have told us she's capable of anything.
Am I worried, as the main instigator of the campaign, to get her book pulled?. Yes, a little but am I deterred in the quest to see that 'Kathy's Real Story' gets out to the Irish public in order to show them what a horrendous fraud has been perpetuated?. Not a bit of it. This is only the begining of Kathy O'Beirne's downfall, and the L.O.V.E charity will not cease until she is on her knees.
Far too many innocent people have been duped by Ms O'Beirne. Her story was not hers to tell. It was ours, from the institutions.
We call on all of those who have not read Mr Kelly's remarkably shocking book, to now do so, and have your eyes opened in a way you never would have thought possible.
