Catholic adptions in MA to cease

[asterroc]

The Boston Archdiocese's Catholic Charities said Friday it would stop providing adoption services because state law allows gays and lesbians to adopt children.

The social services arm of the Roman Catholic archdiocese has provided adoption services for the state for about two decades, but said it would discontinue once it completes its current state contract. It said that the state law allowing gays to adopt runs counter to church teachings on homosexuality.

I don't get it. The Catholic church refuses to adopt babies to homosexuals because the Church is against the sin of homosexuality. But they're also against other sins, so they shouldn't adopt babies out to people who covet their neighbor's posessions, or have had premarital sex, or who've taken the Lord's name in vain or spoken back to their parents. Do they question potential parential candidates about all their other sins? Why don't they make a big deal about those in the press?

Within an hour of Catholic Charities' announcement, Gov. Mitt Romney said he planned to file a bill that would allow religious organizations to seek an exemption from the state's anti-discrimination laws to provide adoption services.

So does that mean that any organization that wants to start discriminatory practices only has to become a recognized religion? Well then, let's make Wal-Mart a religion, and they can ignore the MA law requiring them to stock emergency contraception!
