From a news article found on Yahoo today:

"On Thursday night’s program, O’Brien officiated the wedding of the show’s costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner, David Gorshein.

The same-sex marriage was conducted at New York’s Beacon Theater in front of the couple’s friends, families, loved ones and, of course, all of us watching at home.

And O’Brien made it clear this wasn’t some sort of joke.

“This is for real,” he said. “We are gathered here today in this beautiful place to witness the joining of two lives.”

Cronick, who walked down the aisle accompanied by his favorite celebrity, Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen, joined Gorshein under a chuppah to exchange vows.

“Anyone in the world would be happy to wear one of your designs,” Gorshein told Cronick. “But no one is possibly happier than I am to wear your ring.”

To which Cronick replied: “I vow to fill your every day with so much love. Cameras or no cameras, I am here today and I am yours forever.”

In keeping with Jewish tradition, both men stepped on glasses before O’Brien declared, “By the power vested in me by the state of New York and the Universal Life Church, I now pronounce you husband and husband. You can kiss the groom.”"

So, does this mean that Conan is officail not concidered a part of the Catholic Church finally. I know for years he has declaired himself as Irish Catholic, and even goes as far to say that both sides of his family only marries Irish Catholic.
 
The late night host celebrated the one-year anniversary of his TBS talk show by making television history, officiating an on-air wedding ceremony between his long-time costume designer Scott Cronick and partner David Gorshein.

I don’t think this was a valid wedding by NY state laws because Conan isn’t a valid justice of the peace. Conan is thought to be a practicing catholic and I thought the subject of his Harvard senior thesis was on the devoutly catholic novelist Flannery O’Conner. I know he came from a devout catholic intellectual family as well.

It’s hard to say whether he did this for the humor or if he really supports this kind of nonsense.
 
I thought the wedding was just fine

:confused:
You’re supposed to be Catholic.

It ain’t a wedding. It’s a mockery and a farce. And travesty…

I don’t know what’s wrong with some Catholics on this forum.

So much Indifferentism and apathy…

Conan really should not have done that as a Catholic , AND professed one, especially since he supposed to have a "friend " of a priest. That priest didn’t do a good job as an influence.

The last ten minutes was serious. He condoned and insulted God on that stage.

He also perpetuated a lie to thousands of his youthful viewers who think this is what society says is OKAY AND APPROVED of…

he also opened opportunity for those to marginalize a majority in this country for favor of an agenda of a minority. If Conan had been more relevant or actually funny stilll… he would have done more damage. Nevertheless, the press is going to make up for Conan’s irrelevance and say "t.v. history! "

I don’t know why the Church Militant has become wimps they can’t even see when somethng is off or askew in seemingly Innocuous actions such as this. That ARE not…this is just another sign that it’s going to get worse.

You get a lot of people attacking Christians for their beliefs in the discussions today on the web. Especially those who said they’re tired of the homosexual agenda shoving this “normalization” of the sin of sodom, nationally and through all these television shows. Glee, etc.

This is another case of a drip drip, and the next generation…

Woe to families who strive to raise their Catholic babies in this nation… IF this nation, continues on its pace and does not repent.

The message of Fatima needs to be heeded. I want peace for the future children. Not anguish and strife and persecution!!

Conan has not acted Catholic for a while. He is very worldly.

And he always insults the faith , under masked “self-deprecation” on his show, and past interviews.

I don’t know if he even believes in God, from one Onion interview of his…

According to the reports his “friend” who is homosexual were going to get ’ pretend married ’ anyway in NY as the show traveled there. But Conan suggested they do it on his show on stage.

I think it’s because he’s desperate. The ‘show PR’ insisted it was not for publicity. But actions speak louder than words.

It was designed for buzz…Why?
His ratings are horrible and STILL nobody tuned in yesterday outside his small fans…

Conan has been egomaniacal for a while. I used to think he was funny on late night but that was when I was a child. People grow up. He never did.

He has gotten less funny, angry, overtly political and bitter. And he is very selfish and ego centric. If you saw his documentary, you can see there is nothing funny about him anymore. Guy does not have the right priority in life.

He needs to take a good look at himself because he is pretty much outside of the Church with this action. Promoting an error, and a defiance of a fundamental article of the Faith. The Church says Gay Marriage is wrong.

He is saying “screw the Church” even if it is not a performance of a true “civil ceremony validly.” His action says. "So what about a Truth – I want media buzz! "
did this for humor or he really supports this kind of nonsense.

He does. When he has talked about the fight for “Gay Rights” before in California…

He is really really liberal. A leftist. And before he wasn’t so political. But now he is. It’s who he associates with and the trend today. He is a follower,

While still calling himself Catholic on his show, and being irreverent to Catholicism while having some youth fans… he needs prayers , because he is not doing himself any good…or his fellow members. It inspires more "Cafeteria Catholicism " too… Stephen Colbert is guilty of promoting this “bare minimum” falsehood. That you can be Catholic with institutionalized dissent. I’ve seen forum posters give him a pass when they can’t recognize his referring to his faith as “intellectual Catholics” means he is not a faithful Catholic deliberately, and not out of ignorance.

It is only good that Conan himself doesn’t have many fans and lost the Tonight Show… his goofy persona is all an act , even his attempts to appear a ‘classy guy’ are insincere, if you see his documentary ’ can’t stop ’ He needs confessions and therapy…

Sorry!! I was being too observant of the media buzz… and the spun articles today Congratulating Conan ’ on a job well done…’

Used to be a fan of Conan. (That’s why I am more familiar with him!! I stopped being a fan, not because of his beliefs or politics. But because a few years ago I realized he’s not really that funny to me. Actually quite annoying and tries too hard :rotfl )

Remember, Ecclesiastes ’ there’s a time for everything… a time to laugh, a time to cry

I try to be humorous!!! When I can…

I just don’t like the sanctity of marriage being desecrated in the eyes of youth who take anything from Television and take is as true and good !!!

The Crowd reaction to Conan announcing the gay wedding was going to occur, is something that would have been absurd to the exact same populace just 12 years ago!!

I fear for the children in this day, AND the next!!
And who are the children under God’s eyes??? All of us!!
