> First Amendment protects you from government. Catholics are not the government.

Right. That's my point; there's no need to reconcile the First Amendment with permitting gay marriage. There's nothing to reconcile.

The common "allowing gay marriage is an infringement of religious freedom" argument is bunk for that reason.




My apologies, I misunderstood what point you were trying to make. I agree with you entirely.
