Orthodox Jewish-Catholic Statement: Nature of marriage is dependent on the truth of human nature

The USCCB has issued this statement on marriage in conjunction with the Orthodox Union and the Rabbinical Council of America.  It concludes:

While others have the freedom to disagree with us, we hope that even those outside of our common religious traditions will recognize that we speak from the truth of human nature itself which is consistent with both reason and the moral life.  We also call upon our local faith communities to consider carefully the long held traditions of Jews and Christians on the nature of marriage as built upon the commitment of a man and a woman desirous of establishing a family for contributing to the common good of humanity.
