The Baptists already are performing these sham weddings. Google the 60 minutes story about the woman that sued her pastor and his ORDAINED wife over the issue.

Lutherans, Methodist, and Presbyterians already ordain women.

While you are Googling looks up the abuse statistics for Protestant ministers.

For the last 10 years the Catholic Church has made great strides in eliminating the homosexual candidates from it's Priesthood. No other denomination can make this claim.

I stand by my previous comments and research on the part of n on-Catholics will bear this out.

I’ve done the research, and took exception to your preening and extremist views “no other church can make this claim” — really? Kindly see Mrs. Don-o’s much more reasonable and accurate assessment of protestant churches that are standing firm.

I would also point out to you that ordaining women is not the equivalent of approving of gay marriage — United Methodists do the former but not the latter. Also that the Lutherans have several branches, and the one cited by Mrs. Don-o, the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) most certainly has no intention of swaying from the apostolic faith with regard to marriage.

I can hear your huffing and puffing about the many denominations of protestantism already — spare us. It is little different than Catholics’ knowledge of the many orders of priests and nuns, who have varying approaches to the faith journey and even to theology, certainly as concerns the Jesuits.
