Battle over school patronage: Marriages show change is inevitable

The CSO yesterday published data on the 21,053 marriages held last year. Of these, 664 involved same-sex couples highlighting how one of this society’s many weather vanes has spun so dramatically in a single lifetime.

However, that less than half of the weddings involved a Catholic ceremony is even more telling. Though still the most popular choice for same-sex couples, only 10,027 couples out of 21,053 chose to be part of a traditional Catholic ceremony.
