Film at 11: A Church is not a PAC. A PAC is not a Church.

There's a move to revoke the LDS Church's tax-exempt status for violating the section of the Federal code that limits the use of such organizations to influence legislation.

This seems entirely appropriate to me.

Do As Thou Wilt.

In California you register with the county clerk that you will be performing marriages in their county. Being "in" a religion means nothing and no church is required, just that your signature must be registered.

Once the parties have their contract (license), you sign it, they sign, and both witnesses sign. It goes back to the county, is reviewed by a deputy of the court, and once they sign, can be numbered and filed making it all official.
