Now in context, when discussing same sex marriage is is relevant or appropriate to introduce the issue of paedophilia? Or as I have said, is it a juvenile and ad hominem attack not relevant to the discussion? which was my original point on this subject.
Only in context of homosexuality itself, and preaching a moral authority on it.
In context of the thread itself, I am in 100% agreement, its time to return to the case in hand, catholic hypocrisy is too easy a target and not relevant.
So, where were we... were we still on the fact that churches have refused marriage on various grounds for 100s of years, and nothing in this amendment forces anything to change.
Some churches refuse to marry if you aren't a regular member of the congregation for instance.
You however, want to maintain that Gay Quakers and Unitarianists should not be allowed to get married under their religious banner in a religious ceremony, on the reasoning that you don't think their church is going to last, and everyone should do as your religion says.
I'm wary of putting words in your mouth (oh that was aching for a bad taste joke, but I resisted), so amend what you feel you were not saying.
EDIT: Also, I'd second the notion of making marriage an irrelevant legal position, and all partnerships should be civil partnerships, regardless of sexuality.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
