Again your missing the whole boat, the vicar nor the church that the topic is based upon is forcing anyone to do anything.

No one in his congregation was being told they have to pay a fine, or go to hell, or get evicted from that church if they didnt imediately comply with his wishes.

All the guy tried to do is suggest that women should adhere to the scriptures as a guildline to make their marrieges work better. And if he gave that sermon the way its normally given (and believe me for those of you who never go to a church, when they do the woman should submit sermom {should..not must mind you} it allmost allways includes the husbands responsibilities and what he should be doing along with it.

Then it becomes obvious that whats happening here as well as in the media there is yet another feminist/aethiest black dogging, political attack, which is all too typical of whats wrong with the eurocentric socialist liberal west and the way they choose to function.

As for religious groups, just like any organization or lobbyist group, now including corperations, being given free speech and excersising it etc, and or pushing political agendas, welcome to representative democracy!

Religion isnt whats wrong in and of itself , like anything else, science, drugs, weapons, political positions, etc etc its the assholes abusing it who are really in the wrong.
