The Roman Catholic church did something similar to that in the past.... It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

In many places outside the US it is up to the couple to first obtain the civil marriage and then celebrate the Religious ceremony. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Are you suggesting that same sex couples, if married by the state, should be allowed to have a 'consecrated friendship' ceremony? "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

That is an interesting idea. I don't think you will have many takers with that chastity requirement though, and with still labeling homosexual acts as sins. You still aren't giving them the same rights as a heterosexual couple. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |
