Blog 3 "Archbishop urges state not to 'dictate' over marriage"

This article is about how the Archbishop who is the second most senior Church of England cleric, said that marriage "must" be between a man and a woman. He claims he has supported civil partnerships but people who are trying to overturn history and redefine marriage are "dictators". But he also states that its not the governments role to "gift" the institution of marriage to anyone. What Archbishop says is very contradictory. Which many people who are against this subject tend to be also all over the world. Individuals fighting against same sex marriage sees it as a social problem and he even states it as it some kind of cult.  He also believes that if you change marriage you are trying to change the English language. I am noticing that this was created as a social problem by particular group in society connect with the churches. This would not even be a issue if people were not so caught up in traditional values. I believe there are more important things to worry about that fighting against gay marriage. What people do not understand it is becoming more of a norm and not so out of the ordinary. Of course this depends on location also. In the South in the United States it is a huge issue with gay marriage because of being in the bible belt. Marriage used not be involved with the church, people got married not based on love but for economics. Marriage has changed over many years on why people get married. Now people get married for love and are less connect with the church, but the church is still trying to being involved in marriages.
