From the article quoting the groom: We feel that the church is discriminating against us because we are not following them,
What a concept; a group with certain criteria rejecting people who chose not to meet those criteria!
however, we feel that everyone has a right to an opinion
You have a right to your opinion, that women should be allowed to hire doctors to kill their unborn babies, and the Church has the right to the opinion that people who hold to that opinion cannot marry under Catholic auspices.
and that although 66% voted in favour of the yes campaign in the south does. that mean they will be denied marriage in a Catholic Church as well?
If the hierarchy holds true to the Truth, then that might be the case! One cannot serve two masters, and those who dehumanized the unborn and voted that mothers should be allowed to kill their unborn babies are serving evil, not good.

Oh we could see this was coming.
“I’m a baptized Catholic. I have a RIGHT to demand the Church provide my wedding despite my disagreeing with ‘one of their views’.”
You know what this is going to lead to. . .
"I’m a baptized Catholic. I have a right, as a Catholic man, to demand the Church provide my wedding to another Catholic man despite our disagreeing with ‘one of their views’. . .

How is this news?
This along with the story on a local radio station (I live in Canada) about a man complaining about a confessional church pastor refusing him Communion at a wedding because the pastor found out the guy violated the denomination’s standards and beliefs says quite a lot about the ignorance that’s pervasive in the media. That or they’re pushing out this non-news garbage for propaganda purposes.

That’s supposed to be the norm. If a couple in the Church refuses any part of our teaching,then of course they’re not going to have the sacraments at the Church!

Demanding a Catholic wedding in a Catholic Church with Catholic clergy while disagreeing with teaching and NOT being obedient to that teaching is right up there with a Baptist wanting to have their children baptized Catholic
I wasn’t Catholic when I was married and even back in the late 80’s, I was cautioned that I was making a public statement (as well as an oath before God) that I would not cause scandal. This causes scandal due to the nature of the couples very public stance on abortion - which the Catholic Church has and always will be against!

If you don’t agree with what the Catholic Church teaches then maybe you should look elsewhere to get married.
