No, he means your freedom to marry whom you choose infringes upon his belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. American evangelicals were instrumental in spreading their hatred of homosexuality in Africa and helped create laws allowing the murder of men accused of homosexuality, this was less than a decade ago. Those people are still very much alive and active within the conservative world, they haven’t become more accepting.

First Amendment protects you from government. Catholics are not the government.

That’s why Catholic discussion of Jewish marriages is not a First Amendment issue, while Supreme Court Justice Alito advocating against gay marriage is.

> First Amendment protects you from government. Catholics are not the government.

Right. That's my point; there's no need to reconcile the First Amendment with permitting gay marriage. There's nothing to reconcile.

The common "allowing gay marriage is an infringement of religious freedom" argument is bunk for that reason.

My apologies, I misunderstood what point you were trying to make. I agree with you entirely.
