Priest refuses to baptize the child of a lesbian couple

[HoreTore]

My thoughts exactly.

If the priest doesn't want to baptise the child because of his religion/personal conviction, then the couple should accept that, instead of making a big fuss about it.

No one forbids them to start their own religion, e.g. an exact copy of the religion of the church in question minus the "no gays" thingy.

Ah, but here's the thing; he's employed by the church and therefore has to follow the churches teachings, not his own, or find himself a new church. Same goes for the lesbians. And the church stance on gays doesn't exists, so they're both welcome in the church. There are plenty of people in the church who accepts gays, so why shouldn't the lesbians consider themselves a part of it?

What's funny is that he's a Catholic Priest, removed, see above SF

Catholic? What? No, we're Lutherans up here....

And yes, we do have a state church here, because Labour doesn't want to give up power and the christians want money and a part of the national identity... I have good hopes we'll end the theocracy within the next decade though. The state church really is the worst option for everyone.
