And yet Catholic Church still insist that they have exclusive rights on morality like in Germany where same sex marriage is legalized Archbishop Heiner Koch, who is responsible for family affairs in the bishops conference, said he was "deeply saddened" by the vote.
He said marriage had been “caught up in the cogwheels of political point-scoring”.
Going on, Koch said the Church would continue campaigning for marriage to remain as one man and one woman.
“I regret that our understanding of marriage and the state’s understanding are moving yet further apart”, added Archbishop Stefan Heße of Hamburg.
While article also says "The Protestant Church in Germany has welcomed the vote." Oh how can that be? How can there be so many different Jesuses where one is for gays an one against? Are they reading the same Bible? What's going on?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
