Should stop most of it. Its not the same when you can’t desecrate a consecrated worship space.
They never should have permitted non-Catholic weddings.
It’s not hard to imagine how this is all going to go down. We’ve seen this revolution before. In this case, the Catholic Church will be sued for ‘violating the human rights’ of the so-called LGBT community by not marrying them or accepting such ‘marriages’ among employees of the Church and its schools. Initially, the Church will mostly win on First Amendment grounds, but at some point the tide will turn... and then the Church will begin to lose... and eventually it will find itself outlawed as an enemy of the people like it was in 1930s Mexico, 1790s France, etc.
You can’t “ban” anything that doesn’t already exiat!!!
Wow, Jesuits think like I do.
Of course, my Jesuit “clock” was set long before Vatican II during the time that “SJ” stood for “Society of Jesus”.
Good job
IF one reads the history of England, one will find that ALL marriages were performed in churches, None were ever done by civil authorities in the time. The civil authorities then started requiring church duplicate records of church marriages for their own tax records. Later on this church function was usurped by the registration civil authorities as “ civil marriages” and the churches were bypassed. This was done that the civil authorities could make money by charging for both registration and marriages. They later even usurped more authority illegally by requiring “marriage licenses” before they could even get married IN CHURCH~!!!in order to raise even more tax revenues. check it out.
“Marriage Records
Marriage entries recorded the date and place of marriage. Information included the ages of the two parties, their residences, marital status, occupations, fathers,
and even their fathers’ occupations. Civil copies of marriage entries are duplicates of original church entries. Thus, since it was the duty of the minister to forward copies of all of the marriages he performed, the vast majority have been recorded at the civil
level, even in the early years of civil registration. However, always be sure to check the original church record since there are often discrepancies between the civil and ecclesiastical copies of the same record. Clerical errors happen! We blogged about
this recently.

They required that only Catholics can be married there.
And this is strict, too.
Despite it being one of the most liberal schools in existence.
We were married by a S.J.
BTW, a VERY large gay student/faculty population, too.
In fact one of the counselors who took us through our pre-marital counseling was a huge flamer.
Nice man, though.
Good. Otherwise, they’d have to change their name to Gayola.
“It’s really disheartening,” Irvine said. “It’s a sign of the non-acceptance and non-tolerance of the LGBT students on campus ... a sign of disrespect of our love compared to our peers.”
IT’S DISHEARTENING TO HER BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS KEEPING HER FROM USING HER LIPS AND TONGUE IN THE WRONG PLACE
Barf alert.
