Pycrete said:What i find interesting is that the church has abused it power... a power given to it by the people of Canada to carry out the legal functions of marriage. This is basically the only legal power we give our churches and yet they are not accountable for how they use it. If I as a member of the government hire straight people preferentially, i can be held to account for my actions. I can be sued/loose my job etc. for discrimination. However the church can discriminate all it wants. I believe that if two people come into a church and ask to be married then the church is obligated to marry them regardless of sex, race or creed.
What a pile of shit!
