Archdiocese Agency Cannot Discriminate Against Homosexual Adoptions

Homosexual parents who are adopting children are supremely narcissistic, in my opinion. Their concern is for themselves primarily, not for the good of the child they adopt.

As Dr. Laura Schlessinger has said, and I believe, homosexuals who want to be parents, were raised in very good, stable families with a MOTHER and a FATHER and DO NOT know what itā€™s like to be raised by two mommies and two daddies.

Iā€™m an adult daughter of a bi-sexual mother, my natural mother. After my step-dad died, when I was 15, she lived the lesbian life. I was burdened by her unstable life but never told her. At age 20, I moved 1,000 miles away to remove myself from her influence, which left me distant and confused.

I didnā€™t have a choice. But homosexuals reading this do have a choice to seek help. Get counseling, my mother didnā€™t seek counseling. She attempted suicide and I rescued her. I nursed her back to life and she went out and found another young thing to tempt and seduce, someone my age.

My message is tough love: you have freedom to live a homosexual lifestyle in the great United States; no one is stopping you. I draw the line when it comes to our children.

A year ago, I confronted a spokeswoman from Catholic Charities. I was told that the local chapter does not allow adoptions by homosexuals.

Be not afraid to ask your local Catholic Charities, ā€œDoes Catholic Charities permit, either directly or indirectly, through their agency or through another agency, adoption of children by homosexual couples?ā€

Thatā€™s a very pertinent question. I mentioned something similar in my post about my alma mater, Duquesne University, which is currently in the throes of a problem because a student used a less-than-charitable term to voice his opposition to a proposed gay-straight alliance on campus. It seems that various accrediting bodies are pushing ā€œdiversityā€ and they will therefore be able to exert some control over schools that resist. I fear that the same is true for public agencies too.

I would defer to a practicing attorney on the forums who knows the exact language of the federal civil rights laws, but to my recollection they did not yet specifically include homosexuals as a protected class. However, because so many government entities and other public bodies have explicit non-discrimination clauses in their rules, charters, etc., ā€œsexual preferenceā€ has become a de facto protected class.

Well the Catholic Charities ( http://www.ccab.org/))
associated with this article get some funding (http://www.ccab.org/catholic_charities_2004_financial_statements.pdf) from United Way(support Planned Parenthood etc.) what does that say or imply???

Are they to SELL their moral teachings to the highest bidder?:banghead: IMHO they would be better off if they refused to take the money from government and follow Holy Mother Churchā€™s teachings. God will provide the necessary support to those that hold true to the faith.

But Homosexuals are a marriage in US?

It is a sad fact that in some places they are. We need prayers for all these people. Those involved and those pushing the situation.
 
This article is yet another example of the coming battle of the Church v anti-church just like John Paul II said. I think what the priest said there in the article was just cowardice, what ever happened to carrying your cross and follow Jesus.
 
Hmmm, didnā€™t we just go through a time where a protestant adoption agency didnā€™t allow Catholics to adopt children because they didnā€™t consider us ā€œchristianā€ enough? We didnā€™t have the right christian beliefs?

I figure protestants can be so choosy, why arenā€™t catholics allowed to be?

They surely have thought all of this through. Perhaps they would lose their state license as an adoption agency. I donā€™t know. But as the president of the agency said, they are balancing the good they can do.

If the world was fair, we could just skate through life.

Karin:

Theyā€™ll lose state funding. Under the Bush Administration, they shouldnā€™t lose the Federal (they would with the Clinton or with another Democratic Admin.)

I think itā€™s time for Catholics to remember that we can pay our taxes to either the Church (in charitable contributions - to 20% ofour total income) or to the Government (in Taxes).

Itā€™s also time that Catholics started voting for politicians who stand for the ā€œCulture of Lifeā€ and oppose the ā€œCulture of Deathā€ and stopped voting for politicians who supported the ā€œCulture of Deathā€ and opposed the ā€œCulture of Lifeā€!

Given the history of the Archdiocese of Boston, I donā€™t now if theyā€™re using the state requirement to justify allowing Gays to adopt babies or if theyā€™re really afraid of losing the funding.

I really do hope they solve my delimma and stop allowing gay couples to adopt babies from the CATHOLIC Adoption agency. As long as they allow they adoptions, they say that Homosexual Relationships are OK and that theyā€™re really not sinful.

I think there are very few worse statements the Catholic hierarchy can make to the sheep who so desperately need to be led on the right path.

In Christ, Michael

Harinkj:

I donā€™t believe the Fundamentalist Protestants who do adoptions allow Gay couples to adopt from their agencies, and I donā€™t beive theyā€™ve risked losing their licenses.

They have lost state funding, which can be quite substantial.

In exchange for the money, the Archdioces of Boston is telling the Catholics of Boston, and elsewhere, that homosexual Relationships are OK and that theyā€™re not sinful.

Thatā€™s an aweful message to send, and not worth any amount of money.

As a private agency related to the Church, the First Amendment prohibits the state from doing anything punative such as pulling their license or doing extra audits from health services or otherwise.

When the previous sentence becomes no longer true, weā€™ll be under persecution, and weā€™ll be needing each other like never before. Pray that God makes us ready for that by giving us courage and patience with each other.

In Christ, Michael

I totally agree KathleenElsie. By allowing homosexuals to adopt children, they are showing a very bad example. šŸ˜¦ Lord help us! Mary pray for us! :gopray2:

Paying 20% of total income in taxes to the Church or pay the nearly 35% our family pays now to Uncle Samā€¦:hmmm: given this situation I would rather pay to the Church.
But if we dont pay Uncle Sam guess where we will be ā€¦???
