The less people rely on the state to define the institution for them better off they will be.

And the State is increasingly willing to oblige, so that it reign supreme, and scandals in "Christiandom foster that.

Yup. Just put aside the issue of ‘gay marriage’ and just looks at the general state of marriage over the last 60 years or so, and the effect it has had on society. Then ask yourself why the statists might like it that way.

Pope Leo XIII warned about the state usurping the role of faith as concerns marriage 130 years ago. If you would have told someone in 1980 that polygamy would be accepted before ‘gay marriage’ they would have thought you were whacked out of your gourd. It makes one wonder what the state will claim as marriage in another 130 years. Probably polymorous unions with your own sex changed animal clone hybrids, or something we can’t even imagine now.
