glad to see you've abandoned your transparent pose as a conservative......
Not only conservatives use the Bible to defend bigotry -- so called Christians of all stripes do this
glad to see you've abandoned your transparent pose as a conservative......
I don't see anything giving the federal government authority over marriage in the Constitution. Perhaps you can show that term in the document.
actually Catholics consider marriage one of their sacraments.......
As it should be!
Covenant is just another word for contract.. and the priest still isn't party to the contract.
My "wife" and I have been together for 36 years...and have never asked for the government's or any church's approval. We have wills to take care of the financial details when I croak...and we have no children, opting for a couple of cats instead.
The entire thought of marriage...turns me off...although I have remained true to the "commitment."
Marriage, it might be noted, is THE major cause of divorce.
Yes, I know ... and the priest is still NOT party to the contract.

Try to converse with me when your comprehension skills improve.
Covenant is just another word for contract.. and the priest still isn't party to the contract.
depends on what you mean by "contract".......the sacrament is a covenant......
by definition....
Sounds like you are saying a 'contract' is a 'covenant' is an 'agreement' is a 'contract'. Is that what your circular statement is or am I missing something?
Isn't the Priest (or whoever) like a Notary Public? Someone that is a 'third party' and 'witnesses' the 'Agreement'?
An Agreement is a contract.............
God married us,the Priest was God's representative
As it should be!
