The news story is from the UK. It is aimed at the UK.
Answer my question instead of trying to divert it.
This is not Britain, I naturally did not expect that we were going to devote an entire thread on this marriage topic to British law.
If your people are so under control of your state church that you can replace the secular government, and your people want to transfer authority to them, then give it a shot, in this nation we are free, and Anglicans don’t rule us.
I hope that you have the guns to force your church rules onto the Muslims and homosexuals, and atheists, and such.
