Gay Marriage

[The Sleeper]

usually a church will only marry you if you are part of the parish, or if you set up something with them for special reasons. but i think you have to prove at least one of is a practicing catholic (this is judgemental based on the feelings of the priest at the church agreeing to it), and say that the family is going to be raised that way

then they should get no governmental benefits because they are discriminating who they can marry (which is recognized by the government) based on religion. Can't you see that this is a clear violation of separation of church and state?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

It's on the front page.

They can't make a law that tells Catholics what to believe in.

nowhere am i saying that the goverment should change what catholics can do. either you are misunderstanding my points or I am not making myself clear. Like I said, let them have their marriage, then make them perform a completely separate ceremony that is governmentally recognized.
