She says that by issuing a marriage license she is condoning gay marriage and that's violates her religion. But she isn't condoning gay marriage because there is no such thing.

Then does that not make her a participant in a known lie? Is not deliberate lying also a sin ?

If she issues a marriage license to a couple where one or both had been divorced is she condoning adultery?

She is granting in her official capacity, state sanction of it, at least as the concept is understood by the Catholic faith. If she is Catholic, than it very much does compel her to participate in the violation of her faith in this matter.

But in this case it is voluntary rather than compulsory. I am of the opinion that there are no longer any people left who were alive before this became a known requirement of holding that office.

This is also a question of degree. All moral qualms do not possess the same degree of objectionablity. I regard killing as worse than stealing, and stealing as worse than lying.

Considering God burned to death two cities for homosexual behavior, I regard this particular type of sin as being pretty high up on his "forbidden" list.

This is on a par with providing animal sacrifices to Baal, in terms of religious obejctionability. This is a huge NO. NO.

When the Nation was sane, it thought so too.

Then does that not make her a participant in a known lie? Is not deliberate lying also a sin ?

How does one participate in a lie? You tell a lie or you tell the truth. What she would be doing by issuing the license is allow the same sex couple or the divorced couple to continue to fool themselves.

So then it is the state sanctioning an adulterous lifestyle and not her. So then wouldn't it be the state sanctioning the same sex "marriage" and not her?

If she is Catholic, than it very much does compel her to participate in the violation of her faith in this matter.

I understand she's had four marriages with three husbands. Since most Protestant sects do not view marriage the same as Catholics do then it's pretty safe she's not Catholic.

Then some day homosexuals will have to answer for their sins. Judgement is His job, not ours.
