Marriage Canada is a pro-traditional marriage web site set up as an information outlet by David Mainse. David is currently very busy behind the scenes as a "Spiritual Statesman for Canada." His public position on “Marriage” is certainly on record.
They are a political lobby, but since they are funded by David Manse of One Hundered Huntely Street does that make them a religious charity under his church?
They go on to say; Marriage predates government. It is a religious covenant. Marriage is a union of "one man and one woman.”
Marriage certainly does predate the state, but as I have written here before marriage as a union of one man and one woman IS sanctioned by the State. It is a legal entity created by the State. It is a property relationship.
Marriage prior to that was a relationship between mothers and their children in a communal property relationship.
With the rise of property and property rights under the patririachy the State defined marriage as one man and one woman, and the man's mistresses of course and his slaves, and his children, and his farm animals, etc. etc.
I also like this about Marriage Canada's campaign, you see they are not really lobbying over relationship but a word. Defending the traditional definition of the word "Marriage"
