There was also once a time when the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony and the legal state of marriage were identical.

Churches can still feel free to deny the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony to those they don’t think are qualified (divorcees, same-sex couples, mixed-race couples) but the law prevents us from denying them* the status of legal marriage.
