Priest refuses to baptize the child of a lesbian couple

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Having a state church doesn't mean Norway is a theocracy or anything like it, though I disagree with the concept of having a state religion. Either way, the priest is clearly out of line with Christianity. He should be falling all over himself to baptize that child, especially because baptisms are going down, and therefore he is doing a disservice to himself, the Church, and to the child. Not good, and not in keeping with the ideals of Christianity.

Constitutionally, the Nordic monarchies in which we must include the UK here) are Theocracies; the fact that they are very relaxed about it is irrelevant and also a recent development.
