“Marriage is an institution only to the view of the State.’
And the view of the state is simply whatever judges, pols, or 51% of the voting public thinks it is at any one time. That’s all it can be, it was always a danger. Pope Leo XIII warned about the danger of the modern state changing the definition it uses to recognize and manage the institution 130 years ago.
The shame of it is the state has the power to punish those faiths that will never buy into whatever impossibility the state is calling marriage at the time.

...you’re correct, and sadly so for our humanity...but truth be told, the state as it exists at any point in time does not need to assail faith with open aggression...disagreements arising from within the faith itself accomplish that end quite nicely...
...history manifoldly bears that out...
