Its senses, perhaps. Personal relationships are ridiculously beset with
ancient taboos (some of which may have been justified when both adult
and infant mortality were high) and rules imposed by, often allegedly
celibate, priests.

We have stuff that is clearly in 'Caesar's domain' such as taxation,
wound up with what is claimed as in 'God's domain' ('..let no man put
asunder.')

Andrew could marry Sarah Ferguson, who 'had a past', because none of her
alleged liaisons had progressed as far as a failed marriage.

Marriage customs and restrictions vary greatly between religions and
even between different sects and different nations. The Princess Royal
could re-marry in church in Scotland but in England could only have a
civil marriage.

The Anglican Church is faced with schism, perhaps even disintegration,
over the treatment of homosexuals. Homosexuality is not 'unnatural',
it's perfectly natural; the is no need for training courses for those so
disposed! But those who believe it to be sinful, and thus wish not to
associate with those who do not, should remember a statement of Jesus,
one of few to appear almost identical in two gospels, "I came not to
call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
The bad news is that everything is prohibited.
