Or an obstruction to lactation.

Article today explains that a North Carolina Methodist church has announced that the will refuse to conduct opposite sex marriages until same sex marriages are legalized. Can you imagine the strife of the members of that church locked in an
obluctation with their elders?
Of course Hillary credits her Methodism for awakening her to the needs of the poor, so maybe there is something awry with that whole denomination! She has also announced her support of same sex marriage, as if there weren't more important problems facing this nation.

It's my sense that the
obluctation to gay marriage is crumbling. They are winning this war and i do wonder what sort of crisis will result when the Church is confronted with it being signed into law.

In a sense, it is a minor issue. If they won’t allow the church (or religious people in general) the freedom not to buy abortion pills for their employees, why would they allow them the freedom to marry only those they see fit?
To: SoothingDave
right. this is why i really can't read anything or watch the news anymore bc this kind of thing is EVERYWHERE and it just makes me want to vomit.

The Catholic Church is bigger than the United States.....Obama and his minions would do well to realize that. Why would Pope Francis buckle under to theOne?

We have a struggle, yes, a jihad, obluctation
Against the liberals who have led us to stagnation
Regulations everywhere
We need drilling; they don’t care
Have to put them all on permanent vacation

They are really quite simplistic people. They think “election” means that the winner gets to do whatever he wants and they have no conception of unchanging (and unchangeable) principles.
To: SoothingDave
Not if the winner is Republican. Then they must compromise and bow down to the minority who did not win.

But if the winner is an absolute monarch, yes.
