True or False- It's a Quiz

1/"People Should Be Allowed To Marry Anyone They Want Who They Are In Love With as a fundamental constitutional liberty"

2/ True or False: "People should be allowed to marry anyone they want to as a moral right."
(not the same thing necessarily as a constitutional liberty.)

Just askin because it's my constitutional duty to defend the Constitution- I swore to it as an attorney admitted to a bunch of courts as an officer of the court. But it's my moral obligation to defend the scripture and moral law as I understand it.

No comments below will indicate that you don't care, none of your business and certainly none of the government's.
Keep it civil.


Thought that was easy: True or False:
People should be allowed to marry anyone they want to as a moral right (unless it's their daughter, mother, aunt, grand-daughter, they are already married to someone, the person is over the age of consent, not a priest, and so long as the person also wants to marry me-
1/as a constitutional right of marriage equality
2/as a moral right.
Any more rules I left out? like maybe -so long as the person is NOT MY SAME GENDER??.

Food for thought? Tough one?

True or False:
What the church wants to say about the rights of anyone to marry in the church should be totally separate from what the civil society wants to call a "marriage" for legal civil union purposes and the nomenclature between "union" "domestic partnership" and "marriage" is meaningless and we can just invent another word to satisfy the constitutional standard-like
"permanently committed co-habitation" or something - which doesn't get to happen in a church unless the church says so.

True or False:
The church and all it's members cannot have a political voice or opinion that it hopes carries persuasive weight.
(I'll give you the answer to that one: NOT)

So What Is the Solution if (and I say only If, I conclude nothing here) the Church's mandates contradict the US Constitutional requirements of equality- like the fact that all priests are denied the basic constitutional right to marry or lose their jobs, the fact of the gross discriminatory disparity in admission of women to catholic seminaries to men admitted and the fact that entire hierarchical positions of church authority are reserved for men alone?
Just Askin- Because I live in America. And Thank God I can Ask.
