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.”

for a child to live in an orphanage or be shunted from foster home to foster home or live with a mom and dad who abuse them than to give them a stable home with a loving couple. Geez. I know lesbians who have adopted children who were considered "unadoptable"-moms and kids are happy and are doing fine. But there's talk here in Arkansas about tearing these kids away from the only loving home they've ever known-who cares what effect this will have on the kid? And you can bet your bottom dollar none of those fundy "Xtians" are going to adopt the kids....

(I'm fairly sure) they will stop with the persecution stuff when they have us all safely back in our closets. They just want us to disappear. I don't think they'll actually get out the lie detector machines, start diagnosing people as "queer, but salvagable through torture" or "incorrigibly & irredeemably queer" and starve us to death in camps. I'm fairly certain we don't have to fear the worst. Even though it looks right now like they'll just go from one stage of persecution to the next to the next, I'm pretty sure they have some limits. We might even owe our lives one day to their innate laziness. Cheer up!

Why not?

We did the same thing to Native Americans already.

In a 2003 document signed by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger — now Pope Benedict XVI — the watchdog Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith wrote that “allowing children to be adopted by persons living in (same-sex) unions would actually mean doing violence to these children.”

Catholic Charities officials defended the practice in published reports. One official cited the need to work within state guidelines mandating that agencies allow same-sex couples to adopt. Another cited the good of putting hard-to-place kids in loving families.

An outspoken local critic of the policy, Catholic Action League of Massachusetts Executive Director C.J. Doyle, said he had not filed such a formal complaint. But if Catholic Charities is forced to stop arranging same-sex adoptions, he said, “We would obviously be delighted with that.”

“You can’t defend Catholic teaching in society unless you follow it yourself,” Doyle said.

OH REALLY, MR. DOYLE?????
