Fine with me... Just please don't try and force religious institutions to perform them.
Why not? Are you asking secular society to respect religious sensibilities when the church is so obviously disinterested in respecting secular society's values? The church steadfastly opposed the advent of same-sex marriage - an example of it trying to impose its will and values on others who have no interest in what the church and its adherents believe - yet now it wants its values respected.
In a related matter, my wife and I, American expats, have lived in the same Mexican village for ten years, which features a large Catholic church. Today is the last day of a nine-day religious celebration (called a novenario) of the local saint, St. Andrés, in which every day, all-day and into the night, bottles rockets are being fired off as marching brass bands go up and down the streets.
This terrifies children and pets, including my two dogs (I just heard an explosion) that has one of my dogs under the bed in hiding, the other trembling and panting,unable to stop pacing and running. We have to keep the doors closed for nine days to mute the explosions and bands. Our black lab is afraid to go outside to relieve herself, and frequently gets a bladder infection from holding her urine too long. I just took her breakfast to her under the bed. She's too nervous to eat.
I suppose the church expects us to respect it, but the opposite is true. We consider it a terrible neighbor, selfishly making its noises - originally to scare off evil spirits and demons..
Sure, we're outsiders, and have to suffer this in silence. We would be told that if we don't like it, too bad, and that is correct.
But what should we think about this religion and its superstitions? It's the same situation - they would expect to be accepted if not respected even as they terrorize our pets. A friend of ours with the same problem tells us that he curses the virgin every time that church molests his household's peace and tranquility. I feel the same. We love most of Mexico, its people, and most of its culture, but not the church. The only impact this church has on our lives is this to degrade it. It does nothing for the community.
- "Fiestas de San Andrés - At a Glance - Ajijic’s patron saint is Saint Andrew & every November, the townspeople honor him with a novenario: 9 days of daily processions, music & fireworks. Lots of fireworks." https://lakesideguide.mx/fiestas-san-andres/
This would be a nice festival if it were confined to the plaza rather than marching up and down our streets making children cry and pets tremble and hide. If there were only the castillos (see link and embedded video if interested), we could support this holiday just for its cultural value as we do the non-noisy holidays such a Mexican Christmas, a different holiday here than in the states, one in which children reenact the wandering of Joseph and Mary, far from home, looking for shelter for her baby to be born. The "manger" is often across the street from us, and we turn out on the streets to see the kids knock there and finally be received, along with Magi and "camels" (burros stand in for them)
But under the circumstances, we merely endure this. We did disappear to another village about 45 minutes away one year, but it was incredibly inconvenient and disruptive to our routine, not to mention that this other village didn't occupy our interest for nine days. We were simply killing time waiting for the holiday to end in a hotel room in a community in which we knew nobody, one we have only visited two other times, each for a half-day of a meal and shopping and wandering about before returning home.
Incidentally, the local government is trying to rein in this noise offensive, inasmuch as the net economic impact of this holiday is to cost the community whatever the fifty percent or so of the local expats - a community of several thousand - who disappear for a week-and-a-half to some other location and spend their money there cost the local vendors and tax treasury - yet another burden imposed by this church on its community.
This is a recurring theme across all forms of Christianity - please respect our beliefs even as we call yours sinful. Please respect our religious freedom to not have to bake wedding cakes or perform marriage services for these people even as we labor incessantly to remove that right to same-sex marriage.
Can you see why many simply have no further interest in what the religious demand for themselves? I just don't care if religious bakers are forced to choose between closing their shops, losing lawsuits, or serving people of whom they disapprove. After all , we are forced to either endure them here or flee to a quieter place that will accept our dogs every year because of a church that doesn't respect anything but its own wishes.
Though I’m told some pandits will wing it.
