This is more than a little ridiculous. Your profile says Catholic. Are you aware that Catholic teaching says that the best place to raise a child is in a home with a mother and father? Not to mention the studies done outside of the Church that suggest the same thing?

Whats the second best choice?

Close your doors, kick em to the curb?

Punish the kids for not having parents?

Of course its better in a loving Father and Mother home, i know many kids being raised in single parent homes, should i reject them because studies say its not as good. I heard some of these kids even attend mass.

and yes i am a catholic, but the self righteousness of the membership is driving me away.

Well being raised by 2 ‘‘dads’’ or 2 “mums” is even worse. So why go that way ? Because we’re in 2012? Why should we accept more today than we did yesterday? Just so that we can call ourselves modern? No way!! Same sex parents is so unnatural there is not a word to describe the other parent! Just imagine a boy calling his mum they would be like: “Which one?” Is it not confusing? I’m not being mean or anything, its just a fact! 2 men can’t have babies, 2 women can’t either BUT 1 man + 1 woman can. Simple as.

Why don’t you just start your own charity or even your own religion, church etc… with your very own rules ? Its too easy being sarcastic and criticize without offering any solution.
Religion isn’t like a slice of pizza were you just take off what you don’t like and keep what you like! We’re on a catholic websites talking about catholic rules and principles that can’t be disputed so why would you go against them?

You would benefit greatly by reading the catechism, as the reasons are given for church teaching. You would also benefit by striving for increased holiness, which will, by definition, separate you from the world and its fleshly desires.

Are you missing the point that the Church is being forced into a corner, and this is a reaction and not an action? The world, with its amorality, is firmly turning against the faith.
 
Catholic Charities could no more place children with gay couples than it could place them with polygamous families or families who occasionally practiced child sacrifice. If it’s a Catholic institution, it has to follow Catholic moral principles, which incidentally are also in the best interest of children.

Are you really comparing gay couples to families who practice child sacrifice, really.

“Well being raised by 2 ‘‘dads’’ or 2 “mums” is even worse.”

Is even worse then what? Living on the street, as a child, having no one who cares?

Again, i agree,

Than being raised by a single parent. I’m just quoting you.

There is a vast number of infertile straight couples who would gladly take those babies instead. Catholic Charities is an organization following its principles, not its “ego”…which is impossible anyway because an “ego” is a human trait.

I’m not comparing. I’m simply saying that Catholic institutions can not cooperate with moral evil without ceasing to be Catholic. And that would defeat the purpose of their existence. As the previous poster noted, there are plenty of married couples willing to adopt children. The Chuch has no moral right to place children with couples who are violating moral principles. Catholic adoption agencies would not place children with unmarried couples who are merely shacking up, either. It would be a disservice to the children.
 
Who is the Catholic church to take the moral high ground when it comes to sexual deviance?

I’ll respond by saying that the failing of members of the Church’s leaders in no way impacts Church teaching or the validity of those teachings.

The Bride of Christ.

(If you’re talking about the sexual abuse cases, keep in mind Jesus had a disciple named Judas Iscariot ;))
