Get government out of the marriage business and “family” business entirely and I am a happy man.

In my own words here's how I read this.

Call it a Certificate of Union. Leave the "Marriage" to the Church.

Like a Certificate of Birth and leave the "Baptism" to the Church.

Much like a Certificate of Incorporation. Just for identification and taxes.

I don't like Kmiec because of his hypocritical support for BO but can't see the problem in this idea if it preserves "Marriage" for a man and a woman.

I could support it with one very important stipulation: NO ADOPTION OF CHILDREN !!. Lets see what Cino Kmiec would think about that.
