When they start forcing the church to perform gay marriages, I guess they will be forced to close the church too.
Let’s face it, they want the Catholic Church OUT OF BUSINESS period.
The Church will never close, it will go underground as it has done in the past if necessary.
The NYT atttacked Cruz today.
OB attacks the Church.
Neither attacks Graham nor McCain.
WE are known by our enemies and if they aren’t attacking, we aren’t doing it correctly.
If the Church simply provides a Sacrament of Matrimony, the couple will be married in the Church, according to Church teachings, and it's not the Church's business whether or not the couple is married according to the laws of the State. So the Church can limit those who are receiving the Sacrament to those she deems are actually practicing Catholics, which would NOT include practicing homosexuals.
What's interesting about this situation is that an older couple could marry in the Church, but still be considered unmarried, legally, so they could keep their pensions, Social Security, etc, all separate, and wouldn't have to file tax returns jointly. ;o)
