49 It should be noted that the Roman Catholic Church recognizes seven sacraments, including marriage, but most Protestant denominations recognize only two sacraments: baptism and Eucharist. Here, I use the term “sacrament” broadly as a formal rite of the church.

For example, Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman was buried in the same grave as his close friend Ambrose St. John, but what was left of Newman’s remains were moved as the Roman Catholic Church prepared to beatify him in 2010.
56 There is, of course, disagreement within the progressive LGBT faith community as to whether same-sex marriage ultimately benefits queer people or is merely a way of reinscribing patriarchal values. See, e.g., Mary E. Hunt, “Same-Sex Marriage and Relational Justice,” Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion 20, no. 2 (Fall 2004): 83–92.
