I think it will be the modern test of the true Christianity of the churches, ministers and priests. Will they be willing to go to jail over refusing to marry a couple of queers? Will the churches stand their ground when it comes to the teachings of the Bible and risk closure?

Or will they go along to get along?

I'm unsure where it goes from here. I have seen so many weddings of the elderly recently, and I have to ask myself, is there all that much difference between two 70 year olds and Tom and Tom? The exceptional is quickly becoming common place, and the moral authority that should come from the church is becoming mired in exception after exception.

Even the Pope is choosing to bring forward into public discussion those rare exceptions where separation is not only accepted, but encouraged.

Too much exception is running the rule. Too many ‘feel good’ choices are being made at the expense of doctrine. So do I think that many churches will welcome these abominations with open arms? Yeah, probably will. And more people will turn away from the temples of God in disgust.

Just can't wait until the gays go back against the Catholic church and demand more homosexual priests. It worked out OH so well last time...
