Top leaders of the Christian Right plan to issue a fresh manifesto against marriage equality in March. It may be the defining document for the anti-marriage equality forces in the run up to the legal show down at the Supreme Court this summer (not to mention the 2016 presidential elections).
It is certainly an advance in the evolving alliance between conservative Catholics and conservative evangelicalsand a remarkable expression of their fears about the survival of Christendom as they see it.
David Gibson of Religion News Service, who received an advance copy of the manifesto, reports that it reads like a declaration of war, and that it claims that a faithful Christian witness cannot accommodate itself to same-sex marriage.
Whats more, it suggests that believers who accept gay marriage are no longer fully Christian.
The manifesto, entitled The Two Shall Become One Flesh: Reclaiming Marriage, has been signed by several dozen Christian Right leaders so far, and will be published in the March issue of the neoconservative magazine First Things, which provided copies to selected reporters.

I honestly believe this will be their down fall.
