Too Queer for Catholic Charity Not since Birmingham has the Catholic Church been so willing to turn its back on children, to further the causes of discrimination In one of the most astonishingly indefensible and uncharitable actions in the long, sordid history of the Catholic Church's war on homosexuality, the Boston Archdiocese's Catholic Charities announced today that they will no longer provide adoption services, rather than comply with state law that requires no discrimination against same-sex adoptive parents. Jesus called the children to him and said, "let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these."  - Luke 18, 15-16   Rev. Hehir, President Catholic Charities 5:37:43 PM    comment []
