Best yet...
I am grateful to a couple of correspondents for pointing me to this feature which is the best thing I have yet read on the subject of the Govt's plans to redefine marriage.

This is very interesting. Do you think it lends some support to the idea in one of your previous posts that sacramental and legal marriage might be usefully "de-coupled"? Perhaps then Catholic couples could choose whether to accept governmental / cultural "elite" definitions of marriage...
Yes. This is the way ahead, and it is important to seize the initiative and do it now,so that the Church is in charge of things in its own house. It is neccessary to tackle this now and not delay, because there are already weddings booked for the year ahead, and couples need to know what the arrangements are.
