I think that would be a good compromise, for example if an anglican church wanted to perform a civil partnership ceremony it should be able to. But a distinction would remain between marriage and civil partnership.
Thats EXACTLY what the proposals are suggesting for same sex marriage. You wonder why we're all incredulous.

So I repeat. What exactly is your problem. Is it literally the word marriage, even when it makes a clear distinction for religions like yours.
"The government does not propose to open up religious marriage to same-sex couples. Do you agree or disagree with this proposal?" is Question 5 by the way. Like I said in my very very first post. You have been misled about these proposals.

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?
