| Message | Mr Speaker, The bill description ignores that when Jesus prohibited divorce, he said unless that marriage was unlawful. We need to keep in mind the ideal versus the reality. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, If the Catholic Commonwealth had their way I fear Luthorian would be leaving under a Theocratic State. That is something which the ILA will fight tooth and nail against. We strongly oppose this Big Government Agenda of the CW I Yield. |
