"It's a social revolution. ... The church needs to do a reality check right across the board," said Martin, who suggested that some church figures who argued for gay marriage's rejection came across as harsh, damning and unloving.""

The Church has been formally redefining itself since Vatican II. God will not allow it to go off the rails completely.
