First Amendment protects you from government. Catholics are not the government.
That’s why Catholic discussion of Jewish marriages is not a First Amendment issue, while Supreme Court Justice Alito advocating against gay marriage is.
- ceejayoz 6y ago> First Amendment protects you from government. Catholics are not the government. Right. That's my point; there's no need to reconcile the First Amendment with permitting gay marriage. There's nothing to reconcile. The common "allowing gay marriage is an infringement of religious freedom" argument is bunk for that reason.
