He didn't tell them they could not get married, just that he wouldn't do it. He even suggested the other guy in the Parish that would do it.
It's a personal choice he has made that is based on his moral beliefs.
Its a personal choice to marry who you want, it's his personal choice not to marry people he doesn't think will make it. I bet he wouldn't marry gays either.. or a Baptist to a Satanist... or a shepherd to a bulldog...

This sounds like one big, round-a-bout way of saying "I agree with him and would have done the same thing."
His stated issue wasn't that "he doesn't think they'll make it", it was because of the hardships their children *might* have to deal with growing up. And that he "just doesn't believe in mixing the races that way."
Again, please at least read the article before you make your bass-akwards, redneck posts.
