Ironically, it seems much of the resistance to civil unions among Catholics comes from a consequentialist perspective, i.e. "if we do permit civil unions, it will lead to..." x, y, and z unrelated to civil unions. But from a deontological point of view, why would permitting contracts which confer taxation and asset privileges, visitation rights, custodial rights, etc. be illict? The creation of corporations, trusts, powers of attorney, guardianships, etc. do exactly the same thing and are clearly licit.
