So what if a Protestant couple man and woman go to a Catholic Priest, can he NOT do the wedding because they would need to be baptized members of his church. Why don’t pastors just do weddings for their parishners, and if the same sex people aren’t accepted into membership as parishners, then take that to the SUPREMES>
Thats the catch. They are a wedding chapel, doing this as a business. They are not a church. They are on the same legal ground as the baker who refuses to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding.
Morally, they are in the right. And until recently, that would have been enough, no one would imagine forcing someone to violate his conscience to perform a same-sex wedding if they were morally opposed. But that was then, and this is now.
In the article, the two ministers don't seem to have any kind of congregation or regular meetings; it is just a wedding chapel business in a resort town.
