On  30th  June  2017 , German  Bishops  expressed  their  regret  and  disappointment  against  the  decision  of  approving  gay  marriages  in  the  country  by  the  Parliament.  Heiner  Koch,  the  Archbishop  of  Berlin  conveyed  that  the  approval  is  against  the  fundamental  characteristic  of  marriage ,  not  only  in  the  Christian  point  of  view  but  also  in  the  universal  point.

As  reported  by  the  catholic  news  agency ,  His  Excellency  stressed  that , “ The  Fathers  of  the  German  Constitution  gave  such  pride  of  place  because  they  wanted  to  protect  and  strengthen  those  who ,  as  a  mother  and  father ,  want  to  give  a  life  to  their  children.  Further ,  His  Grace  added  ,  “ I  regret  the  fact  that  the  legislature  has  give  up  on  the  essential  aspects  of  the  marriage  concept  in  order  to  make  the  latter  amenable  to  same  sex-partnerships.”

 Bishops  in  German  believes  that  the  lawmakers  in  the  country  have  changed  the  definition  of  marriage  and  asked  the  Catholics  in  the  country  to  continue  the  truth  and  goodness  of  marriage  publically ,  being  a  faithful   Christian  and  reminded  them  to  stay  in  good  Catholic  Faith .  The  approval  of  the  decision  would  now  go  to  the  higher  level  of  the  hierarchy  for  legal  acceptance  and  is  likely  to  come  into  effect  before  the  end  of  2017.
