Ultimate prize: forcing Catholic churches to marry gays

The Danish legislature today has passed a law that will compel all churches to perform gay weddings. If this violates a priest's conscience, his bishop has to find another priest to do it. But what about the bishop's conscience? I'm liberal by nature, but this doesn't respect the freedom of conscience or the diversity of opinion. The gay rights movement here is overplaying their hand and it will inevitably cause the pendulum of public sympathy to swing backwards.
