Yes, they will no longer be helping children be adopted or placed in foster care, because, god forbid, those children might go to a gay couple. See, the Catholic Church, home to child rapists and their protectors, wants to punish children now, rather than protect them.
Catholic Charities say they are leaving the foster care and adoption business to avoid liability if state law requires them to place children with parents in civil unions--either gay or straight--though we all know too well that they mean just the gay parents. Catholic Charities has no problem with fostering children to straight couples, even straight single people, but they don't want children raised by gay people, or couples, so they'll just stop the programs entirely.
This moronic, bigoted, homophobic, anti-children decision will displace about 350 children and put nearly sixty people out of work.
How effing-christ-like.
At their annual conference in St. Cloud, some 40 Minnesota United Methodist clergy signed a statement saying they would marry any couple who came to them, including same-sex couples.
Reverend Bruce Robbins, of the Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church in Minneapolis, initially said he hoped about a dozen or so of his colleagues might sign the statement, by the number has grown to 40.
Now, to be fair, Methodist church discipline forbids same-sex marriage, so members of the clergy who perform them could lose their conference membership, or clergy credentials.
But they are making a statement. And so is the Catholic Charities of Rockford. One is following the tent that god is love, the other is saying children should suffer.
