BTW, did you mean to write "parasitical" or "pharisaical"? Whichever insult you meant to convey, the fact remains that the sacrament of marriage is a holy thing and a real thing.

There was no insult at all intended. The fact that you saw one tells me that you're more than a little uncomfortable defending your position. You may be right as far as "The Law" is concerned but you are wrong where simple human decency and charity are concerned.

You call all your best friends "pharasitical."

I'm quite comfortable defending the Church's teaching on marriage - which is why I took the time on this thread to explain it in detail - details which you have ignored in order to make emotional arguments.

You may be right as far as "The Law" is concerned but you are wrong where simple human decency and charity are concerned.

And you dodge once more.

I ask again: is it decent and charitable to give an eyeless man a driver's license?

The law exists for our benefit - disobeying it is indecent and uncharitable, not the other way around.
