Wouldn't a first question be whether a person is a member in good standing of the church in question?

Forgive my ignorance, but do people just walk up to a random church and ask to be married there? Do the churches comply?

Similarly, I have heard stories of Rabbis who have refused to perform interfaith weddings. Will this be allowed to continue? Will a Catholic church be forced to perform a gay wedding, while synagogues continue denying interfaith weddings?

Shouldn't it be either weddings for all anywhere, or weddings only at the discretion of the establishment based on its long-standing deeply held convictions?

So when does the push-back from other religions begin?

My experience was that the Church asks first and foremost are you Catholic and if you are open to having children.

One would assume priests would deny them right then and there.

Its not a “show up because you like the incense” type of thing. IOW, they ask questions.
