They are not performing the wedding,
they are being forced to celebrate the sin, if the hall is open to the “public” to be rented.
If the hall exists for the parish, for parish functions, the entire matter can be avoided.
I agree, but this is only the next salvo.
In six months, you’ll see some “happy couple” profiled because they had their little hearts set on getting “married” in the cute little church down the street and suing when they get denied. The courts will most likely side with them. Churches need to consult their legal counsel and put language in their written by-laws that their facilities will not ever be let out for the paid use of non-members. Or, come up with a non-member fee, like $100,000 a day, plus expenses.
