text: Firstly, the bishop is making a temporal judgment based on conspicuous actions. The act of marriage is a very public action - banns of marriage, newspaper announcements, priest or deacon asking any to come forward as to why this man and this woman should not be joined - all very public. 
  
  Secondly, too many here believe the bishop is hate-filled. I see it as just the opposite. If what he truly believes about homosexual actions are going to cause someone to lose Heaven, out of love, he wants all to get there, just as our Lord does.
  
  Should the bishop deny a Christian burial to a known and conspicuous racist?
