Read my post #54 again...Yet you think the government should force Churches to marry same sex people even if the Church doesn't want to.

I would remove their non-profit status if they violate public law, yes. If they want to be an exclusive club, they should organize under the appropriate classification.No, you just want to remove their non-profit status because of it, which is back door coercion.

I also happen to think that the Catholic Church, given it's own history of homosexuality and abuse by the clergy, and compounded by at least decades of coverups by the Vatican, is probably the last organization on earth who should be moralizing to anyone.
But that's just my natural dislike for hypocrisy. I am just glad we are not a theocracy where men interpret a holy book and impose their moral codes on everyone else.
Then they are obliged to adhere to the applicable public law. Which applicability the courts, and ONLY the courts, may determine.They are under the proper classification, non profit.

The churches are free regardless, to advocate for changes to the law by petitioning the Gov't for redress of their grievances as per the first.
You just argue in circles. The courts determine what is a violation of the Constitution, not you or me or the Pope.Public law cannot interfere with free exercise.

I don't know what that means.

Churches can say whatever they want, provided that "the organization’s purposes and activities may not be illegal or violate fundamental public policy."
The same restriction applies to mosques, synagogues, temples, whatever.
You are free to live your life as you choose…
No one is free to violate public law.
That is true, and why we have courts to adjudicate such matters.
I am very surprised to learn that I am a leftist.Classic left babble! Why is it they all babble the same?
No one is claiming otherwise.No court has the authority to override the Constitution.
