It hadn't occurred to me, until now, that Catholic judges, county clerks, and justices of the peace no doubt officiate at civil marriages which are not recognized as "marriages" at all by the Catholic Church, e.g. second- marriages of divorcees whose first marriages the Church would consider indissoluble.

And this isn't just some denominational thing. It was Jesus Christ (four time in Scripture) who denounced these "second-marriages" as adultery.

Officiating at a "gay" "marriage" is in some ways comparable to that.

Keep in mind that there are a number of ways one can be an accessory to another's sin, other than by just jumping in and joining them in it. Among there ways to "co-sin" are:

• by counsel
• by command
• by consent
• by provocation
• by praise or flattery
• by concealment
• by partaking
• by silence
• by defense of the ill done

And it seems to me one could add other ways one could be an accomplice, e.g.

• by "authorizing"
• by faciliating
• by celebrating
• by incentivizing / rewarding/ providing benefits

... in short, by formal cooperation, or very proximate material cooperation.

So these questions arise: are judges, justices of the peace, and country clerks who "marry" people who in fact are not eligible to marry each other because they are in fact already married to somebody else, guilty of adultery or bigamy as accessories?

Are judges, justices of the peace, and country clerks who "marry" people who in fact are not eligible to marry each other because they are no a man and a woman, guilty of sodomy as accessories?
