Surely the 'quadruple lock' is to ensure that they can't be taken to ECHR in the future based on the fact that they are refusing an actual service to the community whereas the RC church has no such place in society and are generally very selective about who they will and won't marry (one must be Catholic, often a non Catholic converts, children must be raised as Catholics, can't be divorced etc). As the CofE have a specific role in society and can't rule people out based on theology they would be genuinely denying same sex couples a service/right held by opposite sex couplesLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928979793602892834noreply@blogger.com
