USCCB accepting money from HHS for Illegal Immigrants?

[Zoltan_Cobalt]

Today, Obama signed an anti-discrimination executive order that prohibits federal contractors from discriminating against gay people. A quote from the article about this law states

“The executive order would prevent Christian and other religious organizations with federal contracts from requiring workers to adhere to the tenets of their religious beliefs. And that includes religious Christian colleges and universities that provide financial aid to students.”

My question ( and I really don’t have a clue to the answer!!) is this: Will Catholic Charities now have to open adoptions to same-sex couples because Catholic Charities has received so much federal money? How about same-sex marriage since the USCCB accepted so much federal money? Can we be forced to violate the beliefs of the church because of the money we’re receiving, maybe not now but in the future?

If your quote is accurate, Catholic Charities would close down.

It happened in Boston, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and the State of Illinois.

I’m a little confused about this executive order. Several articles, from reliable sources, state that it is supposed to prevent discrimination against gay or transgender employees in the workplace of federal contractors. Yet, other sources specifically state that this order would prevent religious organizations from practicing their beliefs and mention Christian colleges that accept federally funded student loans as an example. Still, it seems that accepting government money may potentially impact Catholic organizations negatively in the near future.
