The CofE claims extending marriage rights to same sex couples would provoke "the biggest rupture between the state and the Church of England since it became the established church 500 years ago."
I wonder if Henry VIII would be familiar with some of these arguments .... It was partly his (repeated) attempts to divorce his wife (whoever she was at the time) that caused a rupture between state & church that led to the CofE becoming the established church in the first place.
Given that you can marry in castles, hotels, museums even the Globe or a lighthouse, just how many people gay or straight, would actually want to get married in a church anyway?
