First Things editor R.R. Reno has called for Catholic priests to sign the so-called “Marriage Pledge” and “get out of the [civil] marriage business.” Joseph, a contributor at The Josias, has some poignant thoughts on the matter. I have my own thoughts, which can be found in a brief reply to Joseph here. Since comments are not allowed over at The Josias, feel free to disagree with me vehemently over here.
