Reply #11: Really now...and do they provide marital "benefits" to [View All]

[kevinbgoode]

persons they employ who had a civil ceremony and married outside the church? After all, aren't they worried about getting into "trouble" and violating their deeply-held religious beliefs if someone is married by a justice of the peace and ends up being employed at some church?

This is just another smokescreen argument. For years, didn't the Catholics refuse to recognize most divorces, even if they were legal by the state? And in doing so, was the Catholic Church continuing to pay out marital benefits to divorced employees based on the Church's refusal to recognize said divorce?

These people are full of crap.
