I mean yeah what's going to happen to all the female pastors and married ones? And ones that marry gay couples? Etc.
Bring them along. The Catholic Church needs them now more than ever!
But the Catholic Church wouldn't accept them. That's the point.
Yes we should.
Why? Just because civil marriage makes no distinction between between the genders of the partners (which is as it should be) does not mean that a church marriage should make no distinction. There's an important distinction between governmental action and non-governmental actions that those of us on the left often dismiss too readily. Just because non-governmental actions happen in public does not mean that society at large always gets to decide what actions are permissible.
I think the poster means that the Church
morally should accept such people, not that they should be legally compelled.
