They can drop the non-denominational advertising and become a christian only wedding chapel. So far, the new world order has not demanded that christian churches marry gays and moslems...
One of the laws Henry got passed was that someone who was charged with treason was not allowed to retain a lawyer, which went COMPLETELY against English law. Mary was appalled and worked within her five year reign to reverse those kind of laws. Elizabeth, in her 45 year reign reintroduced all the bad laws her father had gotten passed, and increased the amount of bad laws, including many that were directed at religion. Her laws were so bad that people had to hide in order to perform a baptism. If a person was not of the accredited faith they could not be buried or have their marriage recorded. And this went for Catholics and Puritans alike, although the bulk of the bad laws were directed to the Catholics.
It is a common mistake to think that Mary I caused it all, but it is just not true.
Elizabeth had her very own assistant named Richard Topcliffe. He reported only to her. His job was as chief priest-catcher. He had a torture dungeon in his own home and would send reports of how his tortures were going and the only time she reprimanded him was when he raped a servant girl in order to force her to give him information and she got pregnant. That was the only time Elizabeth found his work "distasteful."
Most people have no idea how bad it was when Elizabeth was queen. Think Barack Obama if he had both Houses of Congress and at least 95% of the justices on the Supreme Court and Homeland Security watched your every move.
For a total of 45 years.
Amazing that this could happen anywhere in America , but Coeur d Alene would have been just about the last place we’d have guessed it would start.
Wonder if they claim Tax exempt status? That is nothing but signing a contract with the devil. All so-called churches under that contract are legally bound to perform these ‘weddings.’ Time to pay the piper.
All kinds of leftwing orgs are tax-exempt and I bet they aren’t legally bound to do anything
The simplest solution is to move the chapel 50 feet outside the city limits...
They look to be near retirement. I hope the Hitching Post is an LLC.
