Church takes aim at same-sex adoptions

[kweerwolf]

A top church official in Washington is urging Archbishop Sean P. O’Malley to stop Catholic Charities of Boston from brokering adoptions unless same-sex couples are excluded, a source close to the hierarchy in the capital told the Herald.

The recommendation was contained in a letter sent recently from the office of Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo Higuera, the papal nuncio, the source said on condition of anonymity.

The archdiocese, asked about the letter, issued a statement saying, “As a matter of course, the archdiocese does not comment on any private communications it might receive from the Holy See.”

“The dioceses of Massachusetts are currently reviewing the issue of Catholic Charities having facilitated adoptions for same-sex couples,” the statement continues. “The bishops expect to receive a recommendation concerning this matter early in the New Year.”

1. I fear the old nazi across the ocean;

May say nay. I went to catholic schools for 12 years, and it never stuck. I say f*** the church. They are holding up the human race. Fundies will self implode within the decade, however, the church will endure and it's power will grow. As they say in horror movies, 'cut off it's head and the body will die.'

2. And it's time for us to start demanding the Catholic Church

lose their tax-exempt status and be prosecuted as a religious CULT under criminal charges for deliberately covering up child and sexual abuse for decades.

Freedom of religion does not include using human beings as sacrifices.
