Cabinet rejects exemption on gay adoptions
Compromise means Catholic church will not be given special treatment
Will Woodward and Severin Carrell
Thursday January 25, 2007
The Guardian
The Catholic church is almost certain to lose its battle for special treatment over gay adoption rules under a deal agreed by the cabinet to heal damaging divisions between senior ministers. Cabinet sources said the new proposals would require Catholic adoption agencies to consider gay couples - or close down - after a reasonable delay that would allow them to ensure that the children in their care are properly dealt with.

It's against what the Church teaches. Wtf?!!
Gays should fuck off and use another agency then.:1eye:

2. An infant/child is adopted into the loving home of a homosexual male or female couple of Catholic or other faith.
3.An infant/child is adopted into the loving home of a heterosexual couple of no-or-indeterminate faith.
4. An infant/child is adopted into the loving home of a homosexual male or female couple of no-or-indeterminate faith.
Discuss...

What about if the adoption agency wanted to discriminate against black people, would that be OK, as long as it's what they teach?

Professing that one is gay is an entire lifestyle choice that is contradictory to Church doctrine so I'd understand the adoption agency saying to fuck off.
I also understand the law not giving an exemption to a Catholic adoption agency. Being a church is one thing but they are expected to conduct themselves within the law when it doesn't involve the church specifically.

Is being heterosexual a "lifestyle choice"?

So which is the greater sin: homosexuality or heathenism? I'm genuinely curious; I know that there's a ranking system.

we're not talking about getting a fridge/freezer here, the real question here is whether the catholic church is still a suitable agency to handle adoptions. If they can't accept this ruling on homosexual couples then apparently the answer is no.
