However, the Archbishop at this stage has decided not to have a letter urging resistance to the legislation read out in churches throughout the archdiocese.
His comments followed last weekend's distribution in some of Sydney's Catholic, Anglican and Greek Orthodox churches of letters opposing legislation under consideration in Federal Parliament which would legalise same-sex marriage.
Churchgoers were urged to contact their Federal MPs to register their opposition to same-sex marriage.
Responding to questions from the media last weekend about whether he would distribute a letter to parishes on the Queensland civil partnerships legislation, Archbishop Coleridge said such a letter would run the risk of preaching to the converted.
He also noted the political climate in Queensland was quite different from "the situation in the south".
"Instead I have contacted Premier Campbell Newman and parliamentary members of the LNP about the issue," he said.
"The civil partnerships legislation is of a very particular kind, especially given that experience in some places suggests that there is a slippery slope from registration of civil partnerships to same-sex marriage."
The Archbishop's comments came after Premier Newman announced a compromise on the legislation, whereby a state-sanctioned ceremony option would be removed, but the rest of the same-sex civil union laws would stand.
