Nah, it was a committee of men in dresses, in that instance, doing what the church always does...realizing centuries after the fact what the rest of the world already knew. It was mostly about other, far more important things - like how kings should stop being whiny little bitches and bow to rome, planning a war for profit in the middle east, and which bunch of upstarts trying to squeeze out a slice of the lucrative god market were heretics and how to best eliminate them. Marriage was probably handled out of hand, in the back minutes;
"Sure, whatever the rabble want, toss them that and monetize it".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
