[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1181494, member: 20599"] Sky, none of these laws, rulings (or, in this case, decision by the Supreme Court to [i]not[/i] take up a case) affect in any way the right of a church to decide who can get married. It affects who the clerk at the courthouse can issue a marriage license to, [b]period.[/b] Churches have always had the right to decide who gets married "within the church" (literally and figuratively). [My sister (non-Catholic) and her Catholic husband were refused a marriage by his priest. In the pre-wedding sessions (pre-cana?), the priest asked what religion they would bring their children up in. They were honest and admitted they did not intend to have children.

A church can decide only to marry couples named Wilma and Fred, if it wants. [/QUOTE]
