Gay marriage isn't real


Here we go again - another bloody priest who doesn't play the game making the rules!

The government is debating whether to change the legal definition of arriage to include same sex couples.

Above is Archbishop Smith of Southwark. He has announced that the Catholic Church will "be opposing such a change in the strongest terms". He goes on to say :
quotation markIt is a lifelong commitment of a man and a woman to each other, publicly entered into, for their mutual well-being and for the procreation and upbringing of children. No authority – civil or religious – has the power to modify the fundamental nature of marriage.quotation mark
Well that's all very well, but you just contradicted yourself, Bish. The law is the law and if Parliament decides that same sex marriages will have the same legal status as mixed sex marriages, then like it or lump it that is the law and the Church cannot opt out.

But you cannot then go on to to say that 'no religious authority' has the right to decide and then go right ahead and do it!

The crux of this issue is not religious. What it's about is that if the Catholic Church defies the law by disciminating against the marriage of gay couples, then they could very well be sued for refusing to marry them.

Will no-one rid us of these turbulent priests?
