This is an imposition of a state-created morality upon the Church. It has not only the right but the responsibility to resist it.

You are confusing the issue. The Muslim desire to impose their practices on Western societies has nothing in common with the objection of the Church to being forced by the state to do something which quite simply violates traditional Christian morality (the morality upon which our society was built, incidentally).

I'm not at all confused, except about the original question, which was "should DC require the church to follow the law?". What else is there? Passing a law which it is NOT required to follow? ? ?

No, but if DC passes a law which it doesn't require the churches to follow, how long before the Muslims pick up on that? Is that really a box we want to open?

which quite simply violates traditional Christian morality (the morality upon which our society was built, incidentally).

Look, I already said that it's a stupid law, but if it becomes law, then it's a law and everybody is required to follow it. To pass a law that you don't have to follow if you don't agree with it is an absurd idea.
