When you consider violent drug dealing criminals seem to walk out of our courts every day with no jail time to serve - the whole thing is crazy.
The Vicar should have been fined - made to do community service and de-frocked.
Our society honours money above anything - but if he had been a rich vicar then he would not have been put on trial.
Someone should start a new Church which has as part of its mantra doing marriages for ANYONE. I dont remember JESUS suggesting that you needed some sort of state paperwork to validate something which GOD had created.
Our "leaders of state" will be appearing in the HIGHEST COURT of God at the end of their life and then they will find out that their meddling with creation was possibly a mistake. The New Covenant was meant to take away the "Law" and replace it with God's only commandment - to love one another.
The Church and the State have dismantled Chist's message to the point where today's churches which believe in LAW above LOVE are basically ignoring the Gospel/ |

It has absolutely no bearing on vicars being sent to prison for marrying people without first checking their credentials - if the system allows abuse, change the system, don't jail the vicars.
As a non believer I think all religions are barmy anyway and making laws to fit religious convention is madder still.
I'm not a fan of gay marriage either - how and why gay people, often branded as sinners and lepers by religion, wish the convention of their ceremony is beyond me; well, it's not, I understand the tax benefits - which brings me back to the insanity of basing laws on religious lunacy.
"Dear Pope, please let me marry Fred; I don't mind that you think he and I are vile perverts; we want to be part of stupid Catholic convention".

I do.

Moving to the NHS itself (which has 1.7m employees and a budget of £100b+); this is completely unsustainable - even for us legitimate claimants.

So normal vicars and priests don't get paid a fee ?
The people who work in civil register offices do it for free do they ?
Of course, they are paid!?
But not bribed!
