While the US Supreme Court decided that same sex marriage should be legal in all fifty states, that doesn’t mean those unions will be made in church.

Father John Fischer is Pastor at St Agnes Catholic Church in Vermillion, and says those couples can’t be married in the catholic church…………

Fischer says a same sex couple would also have to take a step back from church activities…………

Fischer says despite those restrictions, the church has become more open to gays…………

Fischer says there have been no changes in church policy and he doesn’t anticipate any changes in the near future.
