Yes indeed, and that is all I was claiming that COCR allowed - nothing more. Needless to say I was not expecting the discussion of the actual repeal to be sidelined by a bizarre tangent over just how much COCR allows nations to trample religious freedom. For the time being, why don't we get back to what the repeal is arguing: that FOMA is redundant, it only protects same-sex couples, and contains a weird loophole in which nations think they can get around enforcing marriage equality by privatizing all business of marriage to the church.
Go.
