Catholics are free to not accept gay marriage for instance, but they are not free to impose that belief upon the public. For instance a Catholic hospital that receives government money may not refuse to treat a gay patient and allow the patient's spouse full visitation rights. If they ran the hospital with their own money it would, in my opinion, not be illegal to deny gay spousal visitations to the sick patient, just immoral.Rationalist1https://www.blogger.com/profile/14461900851608484538noreply@blogger.com
