Being married Quote by Lino Rulli
“People sometimes focus on the red button hot topic issues and I'm, like, you know, who cares about priestly celibacy? I'm thinking about how am I forgiving my enemies? How am I turning the other cheek? How am I loving my neighbor as myself? To me that's 10,000 times more difficult than to say should priests be married or not be married? I'm, like, I think we're wasting all out energies on the wrong thing. Let's work on the most difficult stuff.”

![“A lot of people [are] saying civil union," Faried told KDVR. "I don't like it being called that because I can get married to a female and it can be called a marriage. Why can't a female be married to a female and male be married to a male and it be called a marriage? You still have the same thing…” quote by Kenneth Faried](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ccf/kenneth-faried-106860_because-i-can_a-lot-of-people-are-saying-civil-union-f_31787.jpg)
