Recently, had a friend(not gay) to marry in the Catholic Church. The couple did two ceremonies-----one was done in the late winter as a civil union under the laws of the USA and the second ceremony was done after several months of instruction to confirm the marriage in the sight of God via the Catholic Church. Sure, the church ceremony and the civil process are separate. I presume the SC ruling in California has everything to do with the civil ceremony, and nothing to do with the church ceremony, right? Marriage for most religions is between a man and woman. I would imagine the recent ruling in California has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with legal status.

What I find incredible, is that everyone admits the VAST majority are OPPOSED to gay unions being called MARRAIGES, ie civil unions etc. probably acceptable today. So, to circumvent THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE they get some corrupt judges to rule its LEGAL. Where is the uprising of the people? Have we just completely capitulated on everything that this country was based upon? If so, can we any longer avoid the fate of the Romans as their leaders became corrupt? jdn
