Washington, D.C., Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl sent a letter to 300 local Catholic priests Tuesday "reminding them about the Church's opposition to the freedom to marry." Council member David A. Catania, who plans to introduce a bill this fall legalizing marriage equality in the District, said, "I respect the bishop for his view . . . but we live in a representative democracy where there is a separation of church and state."
