Sorry, to make a false distinction between political leaders and the church that gave them legitimacy is pathetic.

Your church has recognized the errors of its actions, even if you have not.

Ok, then how about we just say that every single action of the Knesset, as the political leadership of a Jewish state from which it derives its legitimacy, are by definition the actions of Judaism itself?

So if the Knesset approves "gay marriage", why, well, so does Judaism!

If you see the problem with that, then you will see the problem I have with the Church getting the blame for what it specifically told people not to do.

And you will find me quite open and willing to discuss the morality of any action/legislation taken by the Church. What I won't do though, is further slanders against her that are manifestly, provably untrue.
