This report is my Church Militant. Ignore the interviewer and listen to the facts
This interview is very important for the following reasobs:
1. It announces that McCarrick will be held liable in the civil courts for his actions.
2. He will be deposed this month, hopefully in public.
3. He my have to use up his vast off shore savings to pay his victim.
It shows Feancis in a very bad light – for sitting on The Vatican McCarrick report.
THE INTRODUCTION OF SAME SEX RELIGIOUS MARRIAGES IN NORTHERN IRELAND.
Yesterday I as the nominating person of The Oratory Society received a letter from the Northern Ireland Registrar General asking if The Oratory wished to celebrate government recognised religious same sex marriages in Northern Ireland.
Of course, I replied saying that indeed we did.
So, from September, The Oratory priests will be able to celebrate same sex marriages that are fully legal in Northern Ireland.
I doubt if very many churches in Northern Ireland will be agreeing to celebrate same sex marriages.
The RCC will not do them.
I cant see the Church of Ireland, the Presbyterians or the Methodists doing them.
We will certainly not see them happening in the Paisleyite Free Presbyteruan Church.
I cant see the Baptists and the other free churches doing them.
I know that some of the Unitarians aka The Non Subscribing Presbyterian Churches will do them – especially All Souls Belfast where the very gay friendly minister Chris Hudson is minister will do them.
I have been doing Same Sex Blessings for 34 years now.
It will be good that those ceremonies will now be legal in Northern Ireland.
Obviously, no church or priest / minister will be forced to perform same sex weddings.
What do readers think of the introduction of same sex religious marriage in Northern Ireland?
