No priest in good standing will perform matrimony between two people who do not follow church teaching. It is very simple
When THEY are brought to court and can bring canon lawyers to prove their case, they’d better be impeccable in their adherence to the faith. But that’s where you’ll see a true match up and possible persecution. It won’t look like this
The little sisters of the poor just lost their case

I know the little sisters case. They have been mugged by the administration, and the judiciary has refused to redress the situation.
