Fr Patrick Reardon Orthodox Priest on Biblical View of Marriage

The Sacrament of Marriage versus Civil Marriage
blog post by Mary Katherine May

Here is a thoughtful view on marriage, standing on biblical teaching, by Fr. Patrick Reardon, an Orthodox Priest, which he ties to idolatry.  My husband and I have discussed this, too.  In light of the pending U.S. Supreme Court decision I am of the opinion that a legal civil marriage should be separated from the marriage sacrament in the Christian Church.  Not all churches regard marriage as a sacrament that binds it to Scripture.
