Sorry Kid, didn't have time yesterday for much of a discussion.
The church needs to remain a place of sanctuary. Regardless of your beliefs, churches, temples, mosques have always been respected and honored as special places. Even during wars, while everything around them is destroyed, places of worship are left alone. It is the fear of just in case there is something after death, you don't want to have to answer to a higher entity for desecrating all that is sacred.
The O&A thing was foolish for promoting doing it in a church. St. Patrick’s was definitely the wrong one to choose. It was funny for a moment, but the ramifications will be a shitload to deal with.
The Catholics shouldn't complain too loudly. The actions of their boy fucking priests are a million times worse than two consenting adults banging for a prank. But they look at it as desecration of a holy place. They're not seeing the forest for the trees.
