Ah, that would explain I was past lunch already...

Theoretically, yes.
Sadly though, we are dealing with people, and lots of them too. It will take much more 'than a simple change of language' to persuade a nation to go along with it. You can put a real good spin on this if you're an advocate of gay partnerships, and if done right you could get a lot of support for this seperation of state and church. But the opposer's also have the same power to spin things their way, and all things considered: they have an advantage from the get go: they'll say 'we just want to enforce that which is the normal way already, so what's the problem?'
