I took it to mean if you are allowed to act as a representative of the state in legal marriage, you aren’t allowed to perform a wedding ceremony and leave the license out. So if a person isn’t qualified in the eyes of the state they can perform all the ceremonies they want, but if a pastor is qualified in the eyes of the state they then can’t have a ceremony without state involvement.

This is an example of why the only way to really solve the problem is to effect a separation of marriage and state.

Essentially ending marriage as a social construct except for attacking the church for discrimination.
