traditional marriage

According to many Christians, traditional biblical marriage is between one man and one woman, any other forms of marriage are "wrong".

In reality, there are eight types of "traditional marriage", all of which are mentioned in the bible, none of which are criticized.

01. Man and Woman (Nuclear) {Genesis 2:24}.
02. Man and Brother's Widow (Levirate) {Genesis 38:6-10} (A widow who had not given birth to a son was required to marry her brother in law. Wife was expected to submit sexually.)
03. Man, Wives, and Concubine (King Solomon, who had 300 wives, many were concubines)
04. Rapist and Victim {Deuteronomy 22:28-29} (a virgin who was raped must marry her rapist, and the rapist had to pay 50 shekels of silver for property loss.)
05. Man, Woman, and Woman's property {Genesis 16} (if a woman owns female slaves, they become husbands wives.)
06. Male Soldier and Prisoner of War {Numbers 31:1-18, Deuteronomy 21:11-14} (Under the command of Moses, Israelis killed everyone but virgin girls, who were taken as spoils of war. Wives were expected to submit sexually.)

07. Man and Multiple Women (Polygamy)
08. Male Slave and Female Slave {Exodus 21:4} (Owner could assign a wife to each of his male slaves. Wives were expected to submit sexually.)
Person 1: Gays should not be able to be married, it's against the Bible, the Bible says marriage is only between one man and one woman, it's wrong.

Person 2: Actually, in a traditional marriage, a woman has to marry her rapist, and Polygamy is not frowned upon, and during war, men could take virgins and force marriage on them. That's alright, but letting two people who love each other marry each other is not?

Traditional Catholic

A Catholic that does not live by the changes that were made in the the Church as a result of Vatican II. Most of the time they attend a Latin mass, the women wear dresses, don't eat meat on Friday, don't send their kids to public school, have loads of kids, say the rosary every day, say grace before and after meals and don't listen to modern music or use bad language. They come in varying degrees of weirdness. Some are just normal, well-behaved and modestly-dressed Catholics. Others, usually the ones that live in the middle of nowhere stick out. I could go on and on describing their various peculiarities but I think I covered all of the basics.
Girl: Who are those freakin' weird people over there in the long ass skirts? That's disgusting that they have more than 3 kids! They must be crazy! They need to get liberated! I'm sure they're judging us right now!
Traditional Catholic: Who's judging?
