How can homosexuals have the right to marry when they do not have the capacity to marry?
Because you are wrong - they clearly have the legal capacity as this ruling - and many others- amply attest. You may not think they do - but they do. The Church can fulminate as much as she wants, but it does not make the civil law.
The Obergefell v. Hodges verdict is unjust and immoral. It is not the first time the Supreme Court has handed down an unjust and immoral verdict that gives people the impression that their Creator gave them some right to do evil, but this is definitely one of them.
Do you mean like Plessy v Ferguson or Dred Scott v sandford - or like Brown v Board or Engel v Vitale? BTW the judicial power is to say what the law isā¦the law is often immoral and unjustā¦
Did Roe v. Wade settle the question of abortion?
Actually it rather didā¦though if by āsettledā you mean ended all issues, then no, but it clearly is the law and not likely to changeā¦ Just like people still hae Brown, the result of the Civil War and all sorts of thingsā¦
Did Dred Scott v. Sandford settle the question of slavery? No, they didnāt.
It was never meant to
Those were unjust verdicts, and unjust verdicts do not settle questions of justice.
Unfortunately they were exactly right in the eyes of many. Conservatives delighted in Scott and liberals in Roeā¦
People who know the difference between right and wrong are not going to just lie down because the Court hands down some plate of awfulness like Casey v. Planned Parenthood or Obergefell v. Hodges.
I fear you are delusionalā¦as time passes they become only more sure and secureā¦
Those who imagine they āwonā yesterday may think this battle is over, but they are very much mistaken.
Oh, my no, the battle is certainly over though maybe not the war. The war will end over timeā¦and it too is already lost to the conservatives.
It seems to me that the Church always getās itself in a twist when it conflates the civil system with the religious. Edgardo Mortara is a prime example still pertinent today. In stead of trying to deal with the criminalization of abortion, it would do much better to work to change hearts and mindsā¦until them it will lose the civil argument every time. Likewise on gay marriage. The Church by taking the position that the tax, property and personal rights that make up civil marriage is somehow equivalent to sacramental marriage has now managed to contribute to this decision. Oh, well.
Nonetheless, the sun will still rise and set. People will be born, live and die. The tides will still ebb and flowā¦
