Question from Martha Dancy on 5/15/2008:
I heard on Fox News that gay marriage may be passed in California and that clergy would be forced to perform these so called marriages if a couple came in for one. What can the church do to prevent being forced to go against Her own faith and morals? Would the priests be willing to go to jail to uphold the teachings of the church? Can the government force churches to comply with immorality? I would rather go to jail than give in to these perverted views. Martha Dancy

I doubt if it will come to that, clergy being forced to preside at gay weddings. But if it should, priests would be obliged to refuse, going to jail rather than desecrating the Sacrament of Matrimony. Whether all would have the nerve to refuse is doubtful, but there are always traditores in time of persecution.
